Stripboard. Are there any real disadvantages?

JonHylands:
I generally buy the large Radio Shack perf-boards, the ones with just a zillion round pads on the bottom. I solder wires to run as traces.





Simple to make, simple to fix. Once I have a design cast in stone, and everything works, and I'm sure I'm not going to change anything, I will sometimes get a professionally printed version of it done.

I agree with John. The round solder pads are the way to go.
If you can get the kind with the solder pads on both sides, or through hole pads those are also good.

Interesting . . . I did not know RadioShack had an etchant kit . . . I think Ill try it out by the end of this year when I have more time . . .

I agree with Jon too, the perf board method is the way to go . . . unless of course you want to mass manufacture your board . . . Its all about economies of scale . . .

"Even though it's bleedin' obvious (or is it?)......  "
