manhatten style vs. protoboard wiring

[obrien136]

Hello,


I find manhatten style wiring easier than wiring to a protoboard. Is there any reason you shouldn't use it for frequencies that don't require it.

My friend has used a Manhattan style, but later abandoned it. If the scheme is necessary significantly amend or modify, the use of Manhattan style is not convenient.

For making prototype circuits with low amount of details I usually use point-to-point wiring circuit such as this:

For circuits with large items such as a microcontroller, use the breadboard:

...or immediately PCBs produced:

I think these variants will be most appropriate.
Sincerely!

Thats a funny style that i didnt know.
But i would say if your not testing high frequency circuit and its simple enouth the best and fastest way to start would be the good old breadboard, second a prototype PCB, and actually now a days with hobbyist solutions like https://oshpark.com/ most people tend to jump from a self etched PCB to this solutions, which in the end came cheaper then etching it yourself.
But that manhattan style has some advantages since its all soldered, better connections.
