I'm making an 8051 SBC system, but I have one problem.
Many of the circuits involve using double sided circuit boards.
I want to only use single-sided board, because I only have a single-sided board, and I don't have the resources to do it (like an expensive machine).
I bought myself special jumper blocks which are shaped and wired exactly the same as a block of 5 dip switches stuck in the ON position. I only have two of them right now, and I plan to buy more later if necessary, but I want to minimize the need of them which is why I am asking for assistance.
If anyone has made a SBC on a single sided board, tell me your thoughts as well, because I'm sick of trying to arrange the circuit properly.
There must be a good reason why they label the pins the way they do.
My EEPROM is: AT28C256
My CPU is: 80C51-BH
my RAM is: CY7C185
Since I have at least two of each part, I want to use them instead of throwing them out in the garbage.
I'm sure there is a technique for chip placement. and I want to avoid dangling wires. I just want to use my jumper blocks as my wires so that the board looks more professional when it is finished.
Thanks.
