Here is what I have been building using wire-wrap wire and just soldering to pins etc.
Has a 16x2 LCD mounted to board but connected with ribbon cable to header so I can connect a 20 x 4 LCD.
The strip cable is a thin flat flexable conductor (has 8). Not ribbon cable with stranded wire. Has an 8 pin male plug on end for pluging into a bread board.
Thinking of adding an 18 pin PIC with a selector switch for power, two seperate ICD headers.
The 3 pin power header is only because thats what I had in my stash of parts that were given to me (LOTS of R.A male headers (have to cut to make 2x5 R.A headers).
LOTS of ribbon cable in multi color and blue.
so far the board has worked as planed.
REASON= An LCD and a 40 pin PIC won't fit on my bread board plus I don't need to keep wiring up an ICD , power etc each time I want to work with a circuit.
One addition is perhaps a second voltage regulator or just build a power supply for ??
batteries are so much easier.
Got the idea from **broken link removed**
a throw away board.
