Different PCB for CMOY Amp

[danlaix]

I went out and shop for a PCB for building my first CMOY amp.
But unfortunately i can only find this type of PCB. I realise that
all the holes are in contact(by the copper) in length but not in width, if you know what i mean. Look at the picture, all the holes with the arrow pointing direction are in contact. I'm confuse and still drawing out diagrams on how to connect all the components and determine where the ground should be.
Can anyone help? Cmoy or tangent?

OK. I've sketch out a diagram for the power supply. Is the diagram correct? Did I connect the components correctly to the ground(gnd)? Need professional advise here.

I'll work out on the amp diagram now...

 

[danlaix]

Phew! Ok, i'm drawn the PCB design for both the power supply and alsi the amp. I think it should work. But again, i need professional's advise. Anyone? Is this correct?

For the Amp design, it may only take 6 rows.
For the power design, maybe 3 to 4 rows.

If only i have the PCB boards that you guys have...

I haven't looked at your diagrams, but what you have there is called "stripboard". The idea is that you can cut the traces wherever you want, so if you need 6 pins connected together, you can do that, and if you only need 2 you can do that, too. With other types of patterns, you often end up having to get clever about how you connect things. But on the other hand, stripboard requires a lot of cutting.

Stripboard will work, just be careful that when you cut a strip that you truly separate the sections. Don't leave a little filament or anything from one to another.

Tangent:

At last, someone replied. Thank tangent for replying. It seems here in my country there is only stripboard and also affordable compare to the other more expensive board. As i'm new to all of this, i didnt know that you can actually cut the lines to seperate them. But how do i cut them? I tried using a small knife, and it's sure not easy. Any tips?

 

[tangent]

There are stripboard cutters, which have a pin that goes into one of the holes, and you turn it to cut the traces around that hole. Or, you can use an X-acto knife (hobby knife) to cut them, but as you said, it's not easy.

If you want to go cheap you could do the cut with a drill bit too.. (Provided you had the thing. If not, maybe get the made for this cutter.)
No drill needed. Just a suitably sized drill bit.

IF your having probs with board configs I do think that Radioshack ships international. check out their website. Good luck
