Using Breadboards: Are They Made of Bread?

Using Breadboards: Are They Made of Bread?

Before the invention of the breadboard (in the 1960s), you had to use a technique called wire wrapping to build circuits. The wire wrap connects the circuit by linking conductive posts to a perforated board and winding wires around them. As shown in the image below, the circuit can be quite complex. The circuit board … Read more

Why Is There Only 1.5V on My 3.3V Power Pin?

Why Is There Only 1.5V on My 3.3V Power Pin?

A few days ago, a frustrating problem left me quite unhappy.The final solution was simple, but the problem itself had me deep in thought. I thought it was time to tidy up the messy breadboard circuit, as all the issues began at that point. (Note: These circuits are mainly used to drive my Cunning Chronograph). … Read more
