I have a requirement to prototype more circuits.
Last few decades I've relied on Proto-Boards,
prior to that (when IC's weren't common) I used
"peg-board" with bolts through the holes and
nutted and wing-nutted the circuit components.
That was nice cuz of ease of measurement as
every bolt was a Test Point.

I'm thinking now of using Proto-Boards as IC
sockets and taking the wiring from them to
peg-board which is ~ 1"x1" holes.
((I'm finding Proto-Board to cramped)).

BTW, most of my stuff is less than UHF.

Can anyone recommend a better system?

I like to do this:

That's the way to go for RF stuff. Although it does get old for larger concoction of logic chips, bus decoders and so on.

Hey: No eating of potato chips when breadboarding this way. Leaves your finger prints all over the place.

Ah, ain't that the voltage inverter you presented the other day?


It works at low level or GHz. The circuit is easy to visualize, can be
physically labeled and commented, and you can keep each circuit
forever.


Just make sure the soldering fumes are vented out. This technique is heavy on the solder.
