I'm not sure how easy it is to find these days, but there are websites that can create it for you. I'd guess that a laser print would be better than inkjet, as you'll do a lot of rubbing out as part of the process - you'll see what I mean when you see this example: https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...1&postcount=52
If you haven't see it before, that thread is full of useful tips about Veroboard... |
For smaller projects that don't warrant a PCB, I use one of the PCB programs. Express is my tool of the moment. First step, make a master. I use a 9 hole wide by 25 hole long x .1" matrix and draw my tracks.
I make them circa 0.1 wide with 0.04 between them, so spacing between the holes is circa 0.06.
Add in track holes and it's sorted.
that is the underside but I also make a tp view to help locating the wire links.
It might take a few tries, but you've always got the master and the last best guess. For track cuts, I use a circle ,track width in a different colour. For links I use another colour. Components, I measure and
