the issue is not that you can possibly get by with a dreadboard, I knaow that very well, the issue is that there is no guarantee, whatsoever, that it WILL work (if e.g. any fast rise/fall times are involved). Whenever I, in the olden days, were working with a dreadboarded circuit, and a problem was there, the question ALWAYS was "is it the board or my design" and THAT is a true productivity killer. Also, how many posts has there been here and elsewhere "my code does not work" that has, after many exchanges ended with "it works, it was my board".
I have, occasionally, 'breadboarded' a few components onto a devboard, but would never do or recommend dreadboarding from scratch. Today, you can get 'protoboards' such as the SILabs boards, the MCB900 etc for almpost pennies so why dreadboard? Erik |
