I've been trying many different ways of building, as I'm not quite ready for making boards, and my favourite way ,that I find the easiest with 100% success rate is the "Manhattan style", and I seem to be able to get quite complex circuits on the board, what's your favourite style I wonder
Horses for courses.
You wouldn't use veroboard for high power RF circuits while Manhattan's no good if it's all ICs.
Below is a scorecard based on the sorts of things you'd want in a construction method listed:
a. Compactness / b. Suitability for RF / c. Suitability for ICs / d. Ease of changing parts / e. Ease of probing around / f. Reproducibility by beginners / g. Ease of commercial manufacture / h. Construction speed (including board design & etching if applicable)
1 = bad, 2 = fair, 3 = good
Point to Point / dead bug 2/3/1/3/2/1/1/3
Manhattan style 1/3/1/3/3/2/1/3
Matrix board 3/2/3/2/1/1/1/2
Vero strip board 2/1/3/2/2/2/1/2
PC board 3/3/3/1/2/3/3/1
As one who wants to build experimental RF stuff quickly with mostly discrete parts, the first 2 or 3 are right for me. But others have different priorities.
