Hi all,
I am working through "Robot Building for Beginners" and about to build a protoboard with point to point wiring to power my robot, using this protoboard:
http://www.jameco.com/z/PCB-102-R-P...ck-0-1-Hole-Spacing-0-08-Pad-Size_105111.html
How does one connect a component, like a resistor lead, to a wire that will go to another component on the board? I can solder a single component lead or a single wire into a through hole, but not sure how to connect the component to the wire in a single through hole. I have 22 gauge wire, which won't fit into a hole if a component lead is already in the hole -- jamming them together is the only technique I can think of ... I hope that makes sense.
Do I need smaller wire? Or different protoboards? Or is there a technique I can't find on google?
I am new to soldering, so please be patient with my ignorance...
Note that I have changed some of the circuits from the book, so I can't just use the printed PCB from Solarbotics.
Thanks!!
