Mine is on tri-pad board.  As I only need one or two, and the circuit is
pretty minimal, and no-one will see it apart from me, it didn't seem worth
the hassle of PCB layout.  If folk are likely to want me to build and sell
pre-built boards instead of building on stripboard, I'll go ahead and
design one, it shouldn't take long!

There might be cheaper pre-built wired solutions around though, but I've
not come across any similarly simple wired ones.  If interest in building
it continues, I might do a suggested stripboard/tripad layout, if that
really would be helpful to people?

At the moment, it's scribbled on a scrap of paper on my bench, but scanning
that and putting it up as a JPEG is unlikely to be helpful to anyone!

If anyone else uses eagle (freeware version available from
http://www.cadsoft.de) and has some
spare time, they can have a copy of my
(corrected!) schematic in that format and do a PCB layout, as long as they
give me a copy of the .pcb file so I can put it on the webpage (with due
credit to the designer!) !

On the same vein, for Graham and others that build one and write it up- it
would be good if you can give me a link address to put on the page.  If
anyone has any ideas, partslists or tips that might be useful for other
constructors, I can also put them on my page, do pass them on!
