[QUOTE="Llew, post: 528296, member: 175007"] A pice of stripboard will do fine. Arrange the components on the board first to get an idea of the size you need before cutting it. You could draw out the circuit 'wiring' (a sheet of graph paper is ideal) before cutting the tracks, although it shouldn't be necessary with such a simple circuit. If you want to splash out, Maplins do a stripboard cutter, but a drill bit can do the job OK. It might be a good idea to get a DIL holder for the opto (Maplins CJ79L) in case of any wiring mistakes, so you can easily remove the opto. Llew [/QUOTE]
