JP1 Remotes

Hi, Has anyone used a 15x15 Breadboard for the JP1.2 interface?

"Building a JP1.x Interface" (http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=3585) shows the layout on a 10x20 board and there are pictures of using both halves of a dual mini 15x15 board at http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=3563.

Did anybody find a layout for a Dual Mini Board (RS Mod 276-148) snapped in half with 213 holes? I think that would be an idea size.

Another thought, maybe use the new diagrams for a JP1.x using SMT components. Don't know how to make a PCB but might be able to layout on a breadboard.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Rick

Yes, That gave me the idea to use SMT components. However, I think this is beyond my skills. I was thinking of ordering IC sockets with the chips and connecting them on a bread board to the new design, but that seems more complex than the older JP1.x design with the normal electronic components.

So for myself, who is less skilled in electronics, I think the design shown in http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/dload.php?action=file&file_id=3585 is the way to go. Just trying to put it on a 15x15 board.

I built a JP1.2 interface on copper stripboard but have lost the final drawings. This might inspire you, though:

The bottom four rows are just for doodling on.

FYI- The layout I used is 13x10 giving a place for the wires and fits on the 15x15 board. See http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8746. Make sure you get the transistors oriented correctly. I soldered the IDC and DB9 connections to the appropriate points on the back.
