Hi Mark,

I buy several of these proto boards and keep
them around for prototyping. Once I get something
working I set it aside and keep it set up. That way I can
go back to it later if I need to.

It is ideal for use with the Hytech data acq.
opto isolater interface. No soldering required.

Here is another new trick I learned after 65
years of fooling around with electronics.
Unless of course I forgot that I knew it :)
I know some NASA space shuttle highly qualified
electronics techs that I don't think know this trick :)

Use a needle nose plier to strip solid wire insulation
by crushing the insulation. No axial force required.
No nicks in the wires. Works with all sizes up
to 10 gage house wiring. Patent pending but you
can use it :)

Paul,

Yes, I had noticed your nice method of setting up circuits.  Looks
too  easy.;-)  I'll have to stop by Fry's next week and see if
they have any of  those  proto boards.  It is usually a hit or miss
deal with them.  If I was in  charge I would fire all of the stock
clerks, at least the ones in the  electronics section.  Half the
time they're out of the item you just drove  50 miles to get.  Very frustrating.

Nice wire stripping trick.

You will get them a lot cheaper at DigiKey and probably
faster :) They don't mind small orders.

Paul,

I ordered a couple of these today.  Makes it a snap to put together a
circuit for testing.

Hi Mark,
Did You also get a kit or two of the jumper wires. Very handy.
And not that expensive. Makes setting up circiuits real easy.
