Wow that brilliant, are stripboards the same as BreadBoards? if not then which one would you say is easiler?
Has anyone used the software VirtualBreadboard any views on this?
I have been looking around the net for some sort of guide on lists of components and their uses/usage. for example what is a transitor used for, what is a relay used for. I really want to go to basics so if you guys know of any books or any websites on which this information is i would appreciate a link please.
Heres is something that really confused me, i watched a video as i mentioned above on making your own pcb, and here is what the guy done
YouTube - How to make a PCB
1) Draw the circuit diagram on a piece of software
2) Printed it on a Press and Peel paper using laserjet printer
3) placed onto copper clad and ironed on with a household iron
4) peeled the paper off
5) used etching fluid to remove copper
and he ended up with a green plastic board with the traces on it, how though, there was no plastic board within the copper, so how come after etching he has this? does the press and peel paper result in this? did i miss a step or something?
thanks again for your help this is great, will look into buying a Bread/Strip board and start my trial and error
Thanks,
