Can you help designing buffer?

[sono]

I would like to make this circuit on stripboard that you can see on the file attached. This is actually a buffer with some modification, so that the signal leaving the circuit is reduced with 50% in the end.

I wondered if someone could help me convert it to stripboard design? I cannot do that myself, my knowledge is too little for that.

Hello,

You could try to dwaw a setup in pebble:

PEBBLE - Software - PICAXE

A free, open source breadboard layout tool developed by the PICAXE community for the graphical representation of breadboard layouts.

picaxe.com

You can choose between different sizes of stripboard.

I have seen these videos but I don't know how to insert certain components, if they need to be on a common stripe or not, for example. An also if there is more than 1 ground out, how to convert it on the board, like connecting them to make them 1 or leave them as is. If someone created it I could see it right away and could redo that myself in the future.

If there was a video that shows whether components go to the same or different rails that would be helpful. So that would take routing examples from block diagrams and shew how that looks on the stripboard. The problem with most videos is that they show the conversion from beginning to end, but routing examples are scattered all along, not every routing situation is contained in ever video, so it is a kind of mess of information that is difficult to handle for a beginner like me. IF there was a video that only shows routing cases and how to make them on the stripboard that would be the best. I am not interested in choosing components from the list, etc. that is boring and I already know that.

Okay, just to clarify, here is one that has a bunch of routing I have no clue about how to make on the stripboard:



I encircled with red which routing situations I am interested in. Can you link any video that shows examples to these routings only? And not to other things like selecting items in programs, setting their value, etc.

You can use that exact diagram for the layout.
All strip board requires cutting traces so as not to cause short circuits. From the cut traces, a jumper wire is soldered to the next trace being used by a component leg.

 

[Harald Kapp]

Why would you use a buffer at all? The output impedance is rather high at 5 kOhm. You could achieve the same effect by simply using the resistive divider alone on the input signal. Assuming, of course, that the input swings between GND and Vcc.

Here’s a video which shows how to use strip board.

"Dead bug" designs have sometimes been potted in resins, to become quite durable. And irreparable.

Still, this is far from the OP's query.
I certainly hope they took Harald Kapp's advice seriously and didn't bother building the circuit.
How did it all go, Sono?

True but things evolve, especially conversations of the OP query see here.
My comment stands “no school like the old school!”

Can you help designing this buffer?

I would like to make this circuit on stripboard. This is actually a buffer on the input in one of the Boss pedals, with some modification, so that the signal leaving the circuit is reduced with 50% in the end. On the photo below, on the left side, you can see the original buffer circuit from...

I employ that technique myself, depending on the potting material they can be heated and melted releasing the electronic components ,in my case curiosity on very clever designs with no documentation and encapsulated.
I have been quite successful & have learned a great deal from my exploits! I use those clever designs in my own circuits.

in the end I chose this design and we'll see, I have some other versions, too. I am waiting for someone to solder it this month I have no precise soldering iron only one with large tip.
