Perfboard is just PCB material with little copper circles around the holes. It does nothing except hold components in place; you have to figure out how to make the wires and leads touch, and it's miserable. It really sucks. But I never knew about stripboard, so I grew up on this.

i take it back up and try it and it still doesn't work. now this is around when I realize why the case won't close, and it's extremely obvious

the sandwich of components is very thick; solder blobs, board, chip, ribbon cables sticking up, i mean it's very thick and i couldn't make any sense of how it ever could have workedpic.twitter.com/wJuu12Z7zR

i'm looking at the pictures on the tutorial and *violently* not reading the text, because my brain is like that, and i realize that it's built backwards. the chip is on the "wrong side", the one with the strips, which allowed the creator to trim the leadspic.twitter.com/YyMCxcx7O5

it... literally explains this... in the page... i just had to read it...

okay so, but, anyway, why doesn't it work. I sit down and have a good, hard look at the board. i Look at that motherfucker. and I don't see anything. i'm PEERING at this board. eagle eyes. no clues

IT'S FUCKING STRIPBOARD IT JUST HAS SOLDER MASK ON IT. SO I DIDN'T SEE THE TRACES THE CHIP IS SHORTED TOGETHER ALL OVER THE PLACE

in truth it would have taken me SO LONG to realize what i'd done, because primarily all this did was bypass all the resistors - not, in itself, a problem, except it would have cooked either the console or the chip in time i'm sure.

the ONLY reason i noticed this is because i hadn't terminated a couple of the wires onto the same row as their mating resistors, but instead to the row above and folded the wire over. This shorted two tracks together, creating something I could find on a multimeter.pic.twitter.com/10yIVuSULo

I don't know how long I would have searched for the problem if I hadn't chosen that timesaver. I drilled out all the tracks and bam, it works flawlessly. I'm actually very pleased with it. fuck Godpic.twitter.com/LeCctfXiPS
