Well, I gave it a solid try, but I don't think I can play nice with the Perf+ board. Granted, it has been some time since I have used any kind of perf board, I tend to either make my own board or have it made at a board shop, but I can't make that tiny footprint work. I have attached a picture with a half watt resistor lead going through one of the holes, attempting to show that it barely fits. Not that I have any 1/2 watt resistors in this project, but the point is: every hole is tiny. In the Perfy software help file (they are not affiliated, for what that is worth) there is a suggestion that you solder pad to strip connections prior to placing components. This is fine for the "vias", and the help file says to avoid soldering over the holes where components go, but i found it impossible to make the jump from strip to pad without covering the holes. The amount of solder required to make the jump automatically filled the hole as well.

I think i would have found it easier if the strips were connected to the holes, and you had to cut lines that you don't want connected.

Either way, I thought I had a regular single sided breadboard laying around here, but I can't find it.

Till tomorrow.
