Personally I just factor in 10 days for my project and have a board made with pcb assembly. JLC is so friggin cheap it isn't worth it to me to bother with doing stuff on perfboard anymore. Last project I made was a UV lamp for curing resin and it was like 8 days from submitting the order to having a finished board in my hand.
Personally, I have some test/dev setups that I know work, either STM32 based or since the chip shortage a few espresif or rp2040 based boards. If I need to output a clock for example, I can just bitbang it and when I need a more permanent circuit I just spin a board.
I find having about 100x 1/10/100/1k/10k and a bunch of electrolytic, ceramic caps (.1/1uf mostly), along with components for some common circuits (like an ldo and buck/boost). I also have a bunch of cheapo premade buck converters that I can use whenever I need voltage conversion.
- wojtczyk 3y agoThanks I should probably stock up on some standard parts. I don't do electronics that often, but sometimes I just need specific resistors, capacitors, transistors or relays for a project that just came up. I guess I will have to find the space to store them.
- genmud 3y agoHighly recommend using project boxes, like tackle boxes or craft project boxes to organize stuff. I use a rainbow craft box [1] which has a bunch of smaller compartments and it works well. 1 - https://www.michaels.com/product/rainbow-photo-craft-keeper-by-simply-tidy-10468242?michaelsStore=9848&inv=3 https://www.michaels.com/product/rainbow-photo-craft-keeper-...
