I have a board that has an on-board prototyping area (an array of holes).
http://www.digilentinc.com/Data/Products/XC2/XC2-brochure.pdf
I am trying to think of the neatest, most practical way to solder on it. I
want to put a couple of 16pin sockets (that I can plug buffer into) and 8 or
16 LEDs comming off them. I don't want a mess of wires eveywhere. It would
be great if there was a supplier that sold wires with tiny loops connectors
on each end so I could lay a connector loop over each pin or LED wire and
solder it in place ( a wire like this: 0===0 ). I tried using small wire and
making my own loops on each end but it still does not come out well :<
Any ideas greatly appretiated!
p.s. I was thinking of buying a simple wire-wrap tool and just
wire-wrapping -- I like wirewrap for hobby stuff but I thought I saw an
article that suggested it is not in-vogue anymore -- is that considered OK
for small stuff like I will have (less than 50 wired connections)?
Thanks!
