Steven_C Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 this looks like a vgectorboard made by TK, from before he had access to PCB's. Have a look at my midibox photos in the gallery, or also in the midibox of the week thread, to see how I mounted the LED's and buttons, I ran wires straight from the back of the vectorboard to header pins on the PCB'sgood luck, from Steve ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nat Posted August 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 But how does the components stay on the board ? Only with the wire or with some glue ?Thanks,Nat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK. Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 They are soldered to the copper pads on the opposite side:Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest den_Juin Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 What's the cost of these things at your local store?Here it is 5euro for 160x120... that's pretty expensive if you want to mount all your pots and encoders this way.

Nat Posted August 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 I don't know for steve but the stuff here is around 1$ for 20cm*20cm. Problem is that I can't find anything larger than that :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
