Inspecting the vero board

[gogiche]

Hi people,

Maybe this is stupid and I have discovered a hot water with this ,
but I was in a situation when I had no sufficient light in the
room to solder so I grabbed a headlight and point it to the vero board...

I did my job and I have discovered an easy way for beginners to check their
soldering for bad connections or some soldering shorts bridges stacked between the
vero rows.



Hope this will help :)

Cheers
Gogo

I do the same thing.

That's nice way to check.  However, what gets me sometimes are shorts across the track cuts caused by the ** tiniest ** little sliver of copper.  So, I also check every cut with my digital voltmeter, using the continuity setting.  If you hear a beep across the track cut (indicating continuity), then you need to check the cut.  I use an exacto knife to scrape off the copper slivers if need be.  Once the cuts check out, I'm ready to go with the vero build.

No matter the size of the board I'm making I always run a knife through all the rows checking out for bumps or abnormalities and when I'm happy with that, I give it a good toothbrush scrape. Works every time
