When there are big gaps between the lines, it really affects the picture quality
Robonz wrote:Harry, your bread boarding skills are looking good, nice to see it working. You got all the caps on too!
One note to be wary of is when you make all those jumper wires really tidy by running them all together you run the risk of cross-talk between the wires. Most of the time it does not matter but occasionally if you have a sensitive high impedance line running close to an output it can wreak havoc and be very hard to find
Well done the waveform looks great.

This is my method I have stuck with for many years. I solder a row of pins down the side of each chip and wire wrap between them. It has been very reliable and there are no wires on the bottom Just some caps like yours, This method is nice as reconfiguration is effortless. Density is high. And you only really solder it once. Another rule I try to stick with is every external wire must be plugable so I can whip the board out when I need to do soldering etc. I solder surface mount resistors and caps between the pins on the bottom too.
