H-bridge on custom surface mount protoboard

H-bridge on custom surface mount protoboard

I designed this protoboard so I could build circuits directly out of surface mount components, rather than needing a pile of adapters on a standard 100x100mil protoboard. This circuit has a H-bridge and oscillator to drive an LED chain where the LEDs are wired with alternate polarisation.

The idea of the board is that the circuit can be built up in separate modules vertically, then the modules connected together via the horizontal traces on the back side. The built-in horizontal traces means that we don't need to solder on jumper wires crossing left and right across the board, which makes it easier to work with.

This is a real photo. I took it on an angle then straightened it in the image editor.

Happy for feedback or any other comments on the design.
