C.<p>When building electronics project for permanent use - i.e. after testing on a solderless breadboard - you normally go to a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/soldered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>soldered</span></a> perforated board of some type as a <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/prototype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prototype</span></a>, or even for very-low-volume production.</p><p>There are different types of boards. I dislike "matrix" boards, which are just isolated pads on a grid, i.e. there are no connections between any of them. Some people swear by these; I swear at them.</p><p>I prefer protoboards that have multiple holes per pad (so you can connect multiple component leads without having to add an explicit wire jumper). If they've also got <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/busses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>busses</span></a> - sets of pads that run the whole length or width of the board - so much the better!</p><p>Some are <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/crap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crap</span></a>: laminated paper PCBs where the pads lift off the board if you even try to desolder something you added. Row/column labels missing, or (like I found with some recently) that don't line up between the front and back of the board 😆 , or most egregiously, they don't actually show the pad pattern on the front of the board, so you have to keep flipping it to check you've got your parts correctly placed.</p><p>I have some from "BusBoard Prototype Systems" that I like. The SB4 is a 38 x 24 (912 hole) board that is <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/snappable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>snappable</span></a> into quarters. Two of the quarters have rows that are 4-hole, 2-hole, 4-hole. The other two are 5 2-hole pads. Both types have a single bus running along each of the 2 long sides.</p><p>But ...</p><p>1/x</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/hobby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hobby</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ProtoBoard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtoBoard</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/PerfBoard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PerfBoard</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/MatrixBoard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MatrixBoard</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Chinesium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chinesium</span></a></p>
C.<p>I think I found out why these proto boards were so cheap...</p><p>The row and column labels on the top side don't actually match the ones on the bottom side. Column "L" on the top is "N" on the bottom...</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/PCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PCB</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/ProtoBoard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtoBoard</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/prototype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prototype</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/board" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>board</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/solder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solder</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/cheap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cheap</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/chinesium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chinesium</span></a></p>
