Useful tip when using Vero board, when finished, I always use a box cutter and run the blade down the space between each track, this picks up and detects any solder whisker or other solder bridge that may otherwise be causing an unseen short!

Thanks for the tip

You are allowed to cut tracks to suit your desired layout.

Since the +V input goes to the diode D1 first before it goes to U1 LM7805 pin-1, there are two options.

1) Cut the track from the J1 +V terminal in order to insert D1 in series.

2) or shift LM7805 to a separate track in order to apply D1 in series with U1.

(Fritzing drawing to come.)

Hello thank you I redid the design but it didn't send

This is an example of a strip board layout without having to cut tracks.

I would not necessarily do it this way. I have to work within the limitations of the fritzing software.
I intentionally spaced components apart just to make connections visible.

(This is my very first attempt at using fritzing.)

hi Dija,
As this, from your posted images, appears to be an Homework assignment, we really need to see more on how you are building the PCB.

In the latest photo:
1) The anode of the LED is not connected to the resistor.
2) The capacitor standing up might have its polarity connected backwards.
3) There must be a track cut under the diode.

I think I understand what you mean the diode can't have two legs in the same track

Thanks for the diagrams I seem to get them now
