The Veroboard question

By the way, if this has already been posted, sorry, but might as well provide it. It's veroboard layout software for ultra-simple guitar pedals and such. No schematic stuff or routing, though.

Hey that seems nice. I guess some mistakes can be prevented by planning the layout in the app. It should also make for optimal component placement.

I will try it, thanks for posting.

There is also the software Lochmaster.

The copper Vero stripboard shown in Clintrubber's first picture is highly resistant to desoldering, even if you use a pump.

The project I'm working on at the moment is on that stripboard. For various reasons, I've had to remove / desolder 2 of the op-amps about 5 times, with no discernable damage to the board at all.

Although I am using a vacuum desoldering gun, I don't think it is the most important aspect for preventing damage to the stripboard - I think a temp-controlled iron helps, so you don't damage the board in the first place.
