/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1616972
I find it's all about strategically positioning your resistors such that they act as jumpers. But in a highly digital circuit with lots of wires going from one IC straight into another you don't really have this option. Hence why I'm delving into PCB rivets as plated through-holes for diy etched PCBs.
The 0.9x2.5mm rivets were a bit too small in both dimensions (a 1N4004 lead wouldn't fit in them and they didn't show enough length on the other side of the board), so I've ordered some 1.3x3mm ones. Not sure what I'll do about getting a drill bit to fit them though, hopefully a standard HSS 1.5mm will suffice. I've also ordered a nice, sharp, tapered leather awl for riveting them down while keeping the centre open, pic related.
