Here's a fun system designed to take care of some of the headaches involved in breadboarding a circuit. It is is a simple set of template files drawn to scale with real world electronic components. Using a vector drawing program you simply move the components onto the breadboard template, draw a few wires and print the result (if you're old school you can print the template and use scissors and glue). Pin the template to your breadboard, place the components and wires, and you're good to go. Better yet if a wire later falls out its easy to pop it back into place. Looking to skip ahead? The Component Library can be found here The Circuit Library can be found here (shameless plug) Like the breadboard layout sheet idea and looking to play around with an Arduino? we make a fun kit that combines the two. (in the UK it can be purchased here anywhere else in the world it can be purchased here) (second shameless plug) In the UK and looking for an online shop that sells delightfully fun open source products feel free to check out our web store here .:oomlout.co.uk web store:.
step 1Software
There are two options for this step. One a little ahead of its time and the other a little past its time. '''Option 1 - Inkscape (modern)''' Inkscape is an Open Source ve…
step 2Component LIbrary
To use the components simply download either the Inkscape (.svg) or Adobe (.pdf) file attached to this step. The current set of components is a bit of a random selection …
step 3Circuit Library
One of the benefits of this system is how easy it is to share circuits once they are drawn. Here are a few we have used around our offices. (appologies at the moment they …
