Ok,
Very newbie...Now that I have gone through 4 Sparkfun tutorials, and things look great with the breadboard. I am ready to make a 5V/3.3.V power supply on a proto/perf board. This means that I would be soldering stuff.
In the power supply circuit (from Sparkfun's tutorial), the power source is basically a 9V battery, which is connected to a variable voltage regulatr, the LM317, which has a ground pin.
So, other components will also connected to GND.
Here goes my silly question:
Is there any tip (so that my perf board soldering won't be too messy on the perf board) when components are connected to GND? I figure that all the ground connections from all the components would connect to the GND pin of the voltage regulator, the LM317, no?
Thanks.
