Although the Mark I had served me well, it turned out to be a bit large for most of my needs. With a few more projects gearing up in 2014, I decided to exchange size for quantity, and built 3 smaller boards instead of the one larger unit.
The new foundation is a 6x9 polyethylene cutting board with two 840 point breadboards and a 60 point bus strip running across the top. Enough room is remaining on top to add binding posts at a later date, but over time I've found that I don't frequently use them, so I'll hold off on them for now. The Arduino Rev3 was also installed on a 6x9 board. This works well but could be improved...
Overall, I probably could have used a prefab board, but I find the heavier 1/2
cutting board material easier to hold and less prone to scratching my
desktop, so worth an evening of easy assembly.
