I will solder them in mid-air. Perf-boards, PCBs, etc are overrated.What are these components going to be mounted on?
I actually will just prototype on a breadboard and then figure out the best thing to do from there. I have some spare perfboards that I may use. I may actually have the finished thing be on a mini breadboard because the breadboards have adhesive on the back. This also saves me time soldering.
