Hiya, I've been looking at different types of perf boards, for use with
small/medium sized projects, but it seems most of them pretty much
require a lot of wiring, due to their nature of course. Having no
wirewrapping tool/wire/components necessary to do that, I figure that's
out, leaving me with soldering every wire in place. My experience so
far just involves breadboards, and having done 60+ wires for some
projects, the idea of soldering that many and more doesn't sound like
fun!
But I once heard about a type of perf boarf where all the holes are
already connected, and you simply cut the tracks to do your circuit
paths. I can't find out what this type of board is called, though, or
how much it sells for. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I'm also
curious of peoples experience with these types of boards, as well. If
they're as easy to use as they seem, etc.
And just so I'm straight on what to look for in terms of the other
types of boards, what would their specific names be, such as ones with
have a particular number of holes connected together, specialized for
dealing with ICs and such? I've seen others that have tracks connected
all the way horizontal and vertical, too, which might possibly be
handy, but again, not sure what exact term to search for.
I'm always open to any other suggestions other than perf boards, if
there's anything better to work with for the hobbyist. Thanks!
