Re: Bodge-o-tronic: Veroboard!
Hi All,
I build loads of stuff on vero board and I use it for work as well.
My most ambitious project was a 405 line SPG which I built in my youth in the days before I had descovered PIC micros. The SPG produces the 2V drive signals for my Marconi Monoscope.
The last thing I built for myself on vero has become quite a mess. It is a pulse to DTMF converter that I built into a 300 series telephone to enable me to use it at work. It took a bit of tinkering to get it right and also due to the lack of space inside a 300 series (the original transmission circuit is still used) I ended up jumping wires over the tops of chips. I'm quite reluctant to publish this one!
As for work I ususally use vero to try out bits of circuits and new ideas. Once I have a concept of how a product may work I go straight to a PCB. Using PCBs early on is expensive, but generally my Bosses are more impressed by the look of PCBs and it gives them more of a feel for the finished item.
Cheers
Andy
