[KS] New Prototyping board

Gadgetman

Spotted this board on Kickstarter.

Basically, it's a cross between stripboards and prototyping boards with just holes.
The holes have pads that ALMOST touch the strips, so that it's easy to bridge the gap with solder.
The strips go horisontally on one side and vertically on the other side.

He's also planning to have small holes in the middle of the strips to make it easier to cut with a small drill.

Kinda neat, although one tiny short somewhere could be maddening to find! Think I'll stick to hand wired prototypes.

It would be even more interesting if it somehow accomodated SMD devices. Adapters from SMD to DIP holes are expensive.

That's why I like the Project Board.

MCU-check.
USB-check.
Prototype area-check.
Various SMD area-check.

A while back, I picked up 5 Propeller Project Boards.... just because of the wonderful SMD choices. So far I am looking around for a worthy project.

Do you have any suggestions?
