Advantages of Stripboard:
� Low Cost - no expensive PCBs to send for.
� No Mess - no chemical hazard, no slop, no photography or plotting.
� Fast - take a piece of stripboard off the shelf and start building (although good planning is always helpful).
� Adaptable - modify the layout to suit the components locally available.
� Versatile - add more functions or circuits on the same piece of board.
� Compact - unlike Wire Wrap stripboard can be built into small enclosures.
� Widespread - universally available in all parts of the World.
Disadvantages of Stripboard:
- Labor Intensive - if building more than one or two units.
- Non-optimal - less component density than a well laid out PCB (although I have been able to get some quite compact layouts)
