How to Use Perfboard to Build an Electronic Circuit

Hello! This is Ross on behalf of expertvillage.com. It is great the circuit has been tested and it works. Now its time to make it permanent and I am going to stick it out a piece of perfboard and need to cut it and there is only a few components to put on here. First I am going to straighten out the leads on the resistor and I will install them in the board to the next resistor, straighten its leads out. You can now I will stick it right next to the other resistor. Bend the leads a little bit so the components will not fall out. Now the LED sticks in there. Alright the wire, I am going to put the light colored one up towards the one resistor lead that will be the positive. I am twisting it to make a mechanical connection, which is just as important as a solder connection. I still need to solder it because the s soldering will ensure a good conductive connection besides mechanically securing it. Now the brown lead or the negative will go down and the cathode which is the flat side of the diode the plastic part of the diode has a flat side to indicate the cathode side. Now I twisted the resistors to give it a good mechanical connection. Now I am twisting the LED leads and those other switches will be put on the wire that’s inside the garage along with the battery. Alright, good old helping hands. Okay, hold the board for me Mr. Helping Hands because I have to solder this thing now. Now I want to heat up the tip just a little bit and solder on there, two helping hands are better than one, more stability and finished soldering and now I will snip the excess leads of the components and what could I have is a finished board. This can go on the inside and the wire can go up over the door frame there and we will have the door indicator.
