Hey,
Just a quick question. I've got a fairly large design thats not overly complicated, so rather than getting a 14x20cm PCB manufactured (which will cost waaay too much) I'm going with ye olde stripboard and wirewrap wire. Cheap, and it will do the job as the reason the PCB is big is because of various displays/switches/pots.
Has anyone printed an overlay on stripboard? For such a large design I guess it would make sense to prevent any mistakes in track cutting or placement. It also means I could have legends on the board, for jumpers settings and pinouts.
I read somewhere that they used to do this back in the day, but I didn't find anything on google about it, which sirprises me....one could make stripboard/veroboard look half decent, perfect for one-off simple designs. I'll do it in eagle (I do all stripboard work in eagle, really easy) and see how it goes.
Hoping one of the old school techies knows something about this, and can recommend some materials for it.
