magley64 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I am making LED tail lights/brake lights for a 1968 oldsmobile 442.have 100 10mm 70,000 mcd LEDs, 50 5mm 15,000 mcd LEDs, and 150 resistors.need printed circuit board or perfboard to mount and wire this big mess.2 boards 16" by 3" or 1 board 16" by 6" (or more) that i can cut down.Don't really care if it's pcb or perf, the little rings of copper don't really help this project much.radio shack only has little ones.

Scruit Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Try digi-key.comI'd use copper pcb and etch tracks into it. I use toner transfer & muriatic acid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Try digi-key.comI'd use copper pcb and etch tracks into it. I use toner transfer & muriatic acid.This is probably going to be your longest-lasting solution. I haven't tried etching my own PCB, but from what I've heard it's not too bad once you get the hang of it on some practice PCB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
