Whenever I make a hardware gizmo for my SAM I always use veroboard with the tracks going away perpendicularly to the rows of pins. Then I pull out all the euroconnector pins that I don't need (they come out of the plastic housing quite easily with a good tug with some pliers). That quite often leaves only 1 pin to solder to each track (there would be 2 otherwise and you'd have to break the veroboard in between them).... and those that are left can quite often be bent to reach a spare track (or wired with a short bit of insulated wire). It would save the number of wires you needed, too, if you eliminate some of the signals! Are IDC euroconnectors available, I wonder? Andy
