some knife to cut the conductors of the veroboard underneath your semiconductors.

Note that "Veroboard" is a brand name - the generic term is "strip board."

A knife is not a good way to cut the strips - and can be hazardous.
You can buy a proper strip-cutting tool, but a twist-drill bit makes an adequate substitute - choose one slightly larger than the width of the copper strip, and twist it by hand.

If nothing is working, put your doubt on SW first before you can doubt your HW.

If nothing is working, start by checking the power supply, and all connections.

Test your software in a simulator before comitting it to your hardware. If it works in simulation, but not real hardware, you know there's a hardware-related problem - either the hardware is broken/incorrect, or the software is not diriving it correctly (something a simulator often won't tell you).
