Once the LEDs, resistors, and switches are disconnected as described above, the user has a Jackrabbit board with connection points conveniently brought out to labeled points at headers J3 and J7 on the Prototyping Board. Small to medium circuits can be prototyped using point- to-point wiring with 20 to 30 AWG wire between the prototyping area and the holes at loca- tions J3 and J7. Note that the pinouts at locations J3 and J7 on the top side of the Prototyping Board (shown in Figure B-7) are a mirror image of the Jackrabbit board pinouts.

Figure B-7. Jackrabbit I/O Pinout on Prototyping Board (top side)
A user-supplied DE9 connector can be added as shown in Figure B-3.The signals are brought out to location J5 on the top side of the Prototyping Board.
There are six independent surface-mount 14- to 16-pin SOIC pads and fourteen 3- to 5-pin SOT23 pads. Each component has every one of its pin pads connected to a hole in the pro- totyping area. The layout is such that there is another SOIC or SOT23 pad directly on the other side of the PCB from the SOIC or SOT23 pads. However, each layout location is routed to its unique set of connection holes. Because the traces are very thin, carefully determine which set of holes is connected to which surface-mount pad. There are several standard 0805 passive-component surface-mount pads. These pads are not routed to wir- ing holes so wire must be soldered directly to the component. In addition, there is a large generic array of wide traces connected to large holes. This is provided as an additional area for surface-mount passive components. There is a moderate amount of 0.1” arrayed through-hole prototyping area (about 137 holes) for mounting through-hole components.
Thus, many circuits requiring special circuitry external to the Jackrabbit can be prototyped and tested with the Prototyping Board. If additional prototyping space is needed, install 40-pin headers at locations J3 and J7 on the top side of the Prototyping Board to connect to sockets that you would install at J3 and J7 on the top side of a second Prototyping Board.
