Planning
I wanted the Loquino to be as small as possible - not much larger than the LCD. I had to plan the circuit quite carefully so it would fit, and I really wanted it to be as simple as possible, having not-long completed a quite complex project.
I wrote some PostScript code to print out a drilling guide to help align the LCD and perfboard in the project box. Blown up, it let me plan component positions and wire placement.
