A couple of questions on building the ProtoBoard

[Robusto]

Hello all,

I started building my ProtoBoard last night, and I have a couple of questions:

1. I've seen a couple pictures where people are using wires with a jumper connection on one end and a pin for the breadboard on the other end to provide power to the breadboard. Where can I find these?

2. Are you putting rubber feet on the bottom to isolate the circuit from your bench? Would also be interested in a source for these.

Thanks!

As for the bottom of the proto you could get rubber feet from PPCB, Amazon, even HomeDepot might.. I myself just put it right on my work mat and don’t worry about it. If you don’t have one they come in handy for all kinds of reason..

You can use metal, hex nut PCB standoffs and rubber wah feet.

I used 2 different height standoffs to give me a slight incline on the board. The wah feet screw right into the standoffs and you bolt the standoffs to the board itself.

You technically don't need feet on the bottom of the board; it's just nice to have. I'm debating whether to do that or mount it on a piece of wood.

Yeah, I was thinking wood as well. More stable.

Here’s how mine looks with Wah feet:
