My hobby is building simple electronics projects. I have be putting all my projects on breadboards because ( 1 ) I'm not unbelievably good at soldering (practicing and getting better) ( 2 ) I can't come across to figure out how to variety all the connections on a PCB.
Anybody own any good proposal on placing components on a board? Its just a home hobby but I would approaching my work to look good. Thanks contained by advance for your facilitate!
Answers: OK Industries used to sell a perfboard, it have holes and traces in uniform locations and you could tie adjectives areas together and then solder them. Get a biddable IRON I suggest the OK Industries PS-800E, it is special priced right now at $135.00 USD. Yes, I work for them but it is the best low cost iron you can buy.
Practice and you will bring back better.
Component arrangement will consider the interconnectivity of the devices. Put things on paper first. You don't want to own a lot of criss-crossing of connections adjectives. Arrange components to take ascendancy of common tie points such as your power guiderail or ground rail.
If you aren't comfortable soldering but, you can always try line wrapping. Basically you will wrap or wind the chain around the leads of your components. Another suggestion is to use sockets for your IC's.
Have fun.
