The conventional solderless breadboard is an excellent tool for experimenting
with ICs, but lacks any efficient means of handling the wide variety of
active and passive components required to complete the circuit. Any one
who has built a power supply, crystal oscillator, motor controller
(especially stepper motor), microprocessor or even complex Op Amp circuits
on a breadboard understands the frustration this creates.
The Patented ONE PASStructureTM
Technology
included in our products allow the designer to include all of the above
mentioned circuits together on one circuit board as small as 2.6" x 4.9".
Because this structure is an "open circuit socket array", there are no
designated placements for parts. This allows the designer to mix and match
circuitry in any configuration required by the circuit in question.
While there are a number of carrier / development boards available for
microprocessor use, these are all device specific, of limited use and more
expensive. Because the ONE PASSircuitTM is a universal circuit
design, it can be used with any brand or type of microprocessor as well as
non microprocessor designs. This flexibility combined with it's low cost
make it the best product on the market for project builders from novice
through expert.
Another major advantage is the fact that all of our circuit boards fit in
ABS Plastic cases that come with both plastic and aluminum covers from Radio
Shack(R). This not only gives the project a finished look and
feel, but provides mounting space for switches, controls, indicators,
displays, connectors, etc. Because our products are of a standard size,
mechanical design of the project is greatly simplified.

"I just finished my first circuit using the OP1170 board. I am completely happy
with it. In the past I used (Name Deleted) protoboards and they were never
"just right". I WILL be using your boards in the future!
