How to Use a Breadboard to Prototype a Circuit Board

Hello! This is Ross on behalf of expertvillage.com. This is a breadboard. You use it to prototype a circuit without soldering. These are absolutely wonderful. You can take and put components on them, and interconnect them without soldering, but first you need to know the lay out. There is a common bus across the top, a common one at the bottom. When I say common these holes are all interconnected that’s one bus so they connect the wire in let’s say, my power lead in here and they connect the component to it down. This has power going to this lead though. On the vertical, there is a bus here and a bus here and they goes all the way across in terms of separate vertical buses. So it literally it could come through here, drop a resister hook up at the top some place here. Go ahead and put in an LED in here and you can see the connections goes from here to here. There is a break here that connects up to another bus down here and I could go ahead plug this in and down to the lower part where I might put the negative side of the parts by. Also these are designed nice if you use things that are in depths dual in line packages. I stick this chip in here and now I can go ahead and put components and put resistors as this happens to be a op-amp and I could put my appropriate components to test it out. Then after it works I can go ahead and move to another board where I can solder it up and make it permanent.
