Prototyping Hints from David Cook
David Cook has
provided a handy
document full of tips for electronics and robotics hobbyists who are
building their own boards. "Unlike off-the-shelf circuits and kits, most
hobbyist-created projects are unique and unproven. Therefore,
considerable time is devoted to testing, fine-tuning, and perfecting
them." The document goes on to describe simple and inexpensive ways
of creating test probe attachment points on PCBs, DIY inline resistors
to save space on solderless breadboards, an inline LED w/resistor, and a
handy shunt you can use when soldering Molex connectors to PCBs to
prevent your fingers from getting burned or poked by the pins. Anyone
else want to share some similar DIY prototyping tips you've come up with?
