Development Boards

For my builds, I'm using two different RC2014 based prototype boards. Both are from DTRONIXS on Tindie.

This one for the I/O module, as it has built in address decoding, and this one for the Video module as it is intending to be a bus-master in its use.

For these boards, I'll be doing putting it together using wire-wrapping.

What's that?

Yes, wire-wrapping. In this case, I'm using strips of headers on top of the board

There are many reasons for choosing wire-wrapping techniques:

It's easier to rework, allowing me to build and design incrementally.
I don't have a fully child-proof workshop, so it's nice to be able to solder on the sockets and strips, quickly, whilst the chidren are out, and then wire it up at my leisure.
And I've learned that it's quite therapeutic!
