These permanent breadboards from pcbway came out amazing! It might not look like it, but just like a regular breadboard the power rails and columns are connected - much more convenient than perfboard

The LED on the reverse side of the perfboard looks very nice.

Because it came up in conversation, here's a pic of the very first DFO-250 prototype, 100% by hand on perfboard before I learned PCB layout, hand-drilled, lettered, etc..:

Perfboard slipped my mind, but I use that too. At some stage I made my own PCB’s, but my brain is now too mushy to spend hours in KiCad trying to get a nice PCB designed. By the the time I am finished designing the PCB I have lost all interest in the project.

Here’s a peek at the inside. Still a work in progress. The “brain” of the thing is flopped over on the left. It’s an @adafruit.com QT PY RP2040. Bonus points if you can figure out what’s going on at the top left corner inside the enclosure.

Doing a little prototyping today

Electronics soldering is much easier than leaded glass work, just do a couple hours practice on perfboard and you’ll be golden.

When you sketch a circuit with solder and tinned wire, you are already building it !

Really quite impressive. Love the perfboard too. #electronics #vintage

First time hand soldering TSSOP but my 65 year old hands were up to the task under a stereo microscope. Soldering the 0805 size passive parts between the 0.1" spaced perfoard pads was easy enough I only needed a basic magnifier lamp. 4/4

What if we had a shit-ton of perfboard and 2N2222's?

Grab your wire wrap gun. I'll heat up the soldering iron.

We're Americans! Lets do this!

Coffee, Metallica, and perfboard soldering is peak 5 am ritual.

It still works! My 32 year old wire wrapping is still functional. This is a 8088 based computer I built. It features serial output to a terminal. Unfortunately I don't have a terminal. I'm working on a USB to serial connection for it. O-scope indicates it still produces serial out.

NTRON gaming and synth console The NTRON is compatible with original NES controllers, and there are custom models built on perfboard

Before designing a PCB, I find it always helps to first produce a solid prototype. In this case using a mixture of stripboard and wire-wrap construction methods.

I finished the planning for a perfboard design that's surpsingly tight. The amount of time I spent on it makes me want to actually learn how to design a PCB.
