[sdiy] Perfboard construction pointers

[Paul Perry]

I'm not saying people shouldn't prorotype with PCBs..
if they enjoy making PCBs.

All I am saying, is that for someone just beginning,
it might be more productive & a lot easier to go
with the stripboard.

Personally, I never use a breadboard - I go straight to the stripboard.
An advantage is that when my stripboard prototype is working,
then I can put it straight in a box, and it is all over ;D

Everyone has different skills and interests. That's why there are so
many different ways to skin the SDIY cat! Stripboard suits a clumsy
person like me. Drop it, pick it up, keep soldering..
