I have just started to put a project together after the breadboard stage, and was wondering what is the best method of construction, what do you guys use the most?
My thinking is if i make a PCB and make a mistake with the tracks, i need to cut tracks and make wire links but the off board components will be easier to connect since i can mount them right on the edge of the PBC for direct mounting to the case or i can fit all the connectors together and run the wires to the off board components on the case in a loom making it look neater, however if i use vero board and make a mistake, i then have the opportunity to move a component to a more suitable position without starting all over again.
Not that anyone else will see the inside of the case but i think it's a case of pride in my work and knowing it is neat and tidy.
