The last time I built a project (eons ago), I would use the plain perf board for my projects.
One of the few things "The Shack" carries these days is perf board. But these have copper pads.
I have never used them before. What are the pros and cons of this type of board when compared to the plain perf board?
What is the recommended way to solder one of these up? Say I want to connect the lead of one component to a lead of an adjacent component? Do I solder one lead to one pad another lead to a second then just bridge the gap with a bit of solder??
