ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BUILDING BLOCKS

SchmartBOARD is a new way of creating prototypes quickly and inexpensively using "Electronic Circuit Building Blocks." Engineers spend weeks on new layouts, wait one or two weeks for a PCB, and spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on a prototype, only to find out that they need a revision. Then, they do the process over again, and perhaps over yet again. Students and experimenters spend weeks trying to use wire-wrap boards. Putting wire jumpers between every component is tedious and hard to troubleshoot. They have had no other options, though.

The SchmartBOARD solution allows you (in a matter of hours) to put together a board and instantly make modifications as needed. With SchmartBOARD you do not have to order a custom PCB or deal with wire-wrap boards. SchmartBOARDs are pre-traced printed PCBs that are connectable like building blocks. They allow you to build electronic circuits on a SchmartBOARD block by block, and then connect the blocks together to form a functional board. Because the boards are pre-traced, the need for wire jumpers is minimized, as opposed to breadboards or wire-wrap boards. The suggested retail price for a combination pack is $49.95.
