ABSTRACT
The author have spent a great deal of time on electronic experiments, and rightly or wrongly he think he can provide some helpful advice on how to go about it. Some suggestions may appear obvious, some may appear trivial, but he think most people will learn something here. There is not much information around about how to draw a good schematic, which is usually the input to the PCB part of the CAD package. He is referring here to the sort of prototype board that has rows of spring contacts, typically connected together in rows of five or six, mounted under a perforated plastic cover. Protoboard uses tin plated phosphor bronze or nickel silver alloy spring clips to hold the wires and components, and these should be treated with consideration if you want them to have a long life.
