I haven't seen Veroboard that was bad but I worked on one of the 1st products from a Korean electronics manufacturer whose copper print on their pcb's was held on with rice-glue or chewing gum and it came off just by looking at it. :lol:
nope, a few lose connections..... i was just trying to sort them out, im doing a blue light for inside of comp that shines out of the bottom, it was working and then i moved it because the LED's were facing sideways and it broke!!!!! i think that might be because i didnt clean the stripboard so it was a bit greasy

I've only used a mains powered soldering iron once and hated it, so I lashed out and bought a snapon butane iron which worked flawlessly for years but finally gave up the ghost so I got an iroda butane iron which works just as good. Nice and small and simply change the tip over and I got a heatsink torch, blowtorch, hot knife etc. I also got me 12 volt iron good for 60 watts to use incase I run out of butane and I run it off a 12 volt 7amp/hour battery. Just my preference but I'll probably never use a mains powered one again.
Well mate,
Hee, hee. :lol: Since you're down under, everything is upside-down, isn't it?
Do you use kangaroos or wallabies to hold-down your battery? :lol: :lol:
a perfect example of stripboard not working!!
on the breadboard it worked fine, so i copied it hole by hole and made an exact match on the stripboard.... all the soldering is ok (i used new tip for mains powered iron) but the light stays on whatever the light is!!!!
any ideas what couls be wrong?
