Post by thread:[SX] XS 48/52 Proto Board How To

In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, jabshier wrote:The DIP8 and Servo areas of the Proto Board are like this 0-0 Where one pad is for the IC/servo pin and the other pad can be used for a wire to connect to a SX pin. How do people connect other pads to a SX pin? Do you try to get a socket pin and a wire in the same pad hole? Or solder a wire on the part of the pin sticking out the back of the board? I want to interface a DIP28. A second question. I assume that solid wire is prefered for board to board connections and stranded for off board.

I will often use the clipped leads of components I solder into boards for jumpered connections if they don't need to be insulated. As for off-board stuff stranded wire is usually a better choice, but you may noticed the larger holes around the bottom and right side of the board. These are to route your wires and act as kind of a wire-guide/strain-relief to keep your connections secure.
