Re: How do Atom Computer Ignition modules work?

quote Phil B:

One reason I wanted to see if I could get PCB (printed circuit boards) made was to make it easy to experiment with different components (tho debe did extensive work in this department finding the best power transistor to use)…

Unless the PCBs were quite cheap, how would that make experimentation any easier? PCB traces & holes can swiftly fail and peel / pull off.. Not so with simple perf-board and wire connections, which can be reworked again and again.

To me, a strip board aka Veroboard build would seem ideal, unless the target is mass production. If only I had the skills to lay it out.. I’m just awful at that!!
