content: I know I can get it on amazon but i know sometimes hobbyists have piles of this stuff they dont use. If you have some junk pieces you dont want or if you can afford to ship me a few pieces at a decent deal id pay ya for em. Amazon wants 6 USD for the 9v snap ons with 2 leads but want like 7 USD for shipping for somthing weighing less than an ounce i mean come on.Also if this is ok, does anyone know where I could get the stuff to make my own clip on 9v leads and also those metal pins that are crimped on the end of some wires you get with arduino kits. I know adafruit has the wires already crimped and then sells the plastic housings, I was looking for the little crimping pieces you put on the wires. It seems in this hobby/business you are better off buying a bunch of parts, be it wire connectors, crimp on stuff or anything else and doing it yourself.Im not cheap just sick and off disability they took me off after doing no tests at all and said I can work but the US Govt is doing that now because they cant afford to have anyone under 50 on it unless you are near death.So yeah if anyone knows of a good/cheap perf/strip board vendor, and or a vendor that sells the pieces I can make 9v clips and the crimp on steel pins can ya let me know, or if you have some spare perf board (doesnt have to be a lot as long as it has some kind of solder pad on it haha id buy a few from you if you are in the US to keep shipping down.If this was the wrong spot for this im sorry

content: I prefer "manhattan" techniques, because IMHO they are cheaper, higher performance, only need what you have in the cupboard anyway, and faster since less planning is required.Examples:Appendix F ofhttp://cds.linear.com/docs/en/application-note/an47fa.pdfAppendix G ofhttp://cds.linear.com/docs/en/application-note/an120f.pdf
