Update: We now have a fa mily of T-Boards - for the ATmega328, ATtiny24/44/84 and the ATtiny 25/45/85 controllers.Refer to "version 0.3" below for a full update, as well a great reason to prototype ...

For the construction of (small) through-hole prototype boards use is often made of stripboard (Veroboard), a fast and easy way to build relatively tidy and usable circuits in conjunction with ...

Back in 2010, Bob Pease sent me a couple pictures of some prototype printed circuit boards (PCBs) he had made in the early 1960s. Pease got to be a great analog engineer because he would hack away at ...

Bob Pease is big on hands-on engineering. He says, “A soldering iron is my Spice”. This is similar to a comment I heard in my consulting days: “An ounce of trial is better than a pound of opinion.” ...

PC-board layout sets the functional, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and thermal behavior of a power supply. Good layout from first prototyping on actually saves significant resources in EMI ...

The project was created to supply the increasing demand for prototype vacuum tube circuits with additional features such as speakers, output transformers, and LEDs. The project was created to supply ...

Prototyping is a personal affair, with approaches ranging from dead-bug parts on tinplate through stripboard and protoboard, to solderless breadboards and more. Whichever you prefer, a common problem ...
