A breadboard is a great prototyping tool for verifying the sanity of a circuit design before taking the painstaking effort of soldering it all together permanently. After all, a mistake in this stage ...

Microaware’s Sandwizz, a schematic-configurable breadboard, hit 120% of its funding goal on Kickstarter on July 19, 2024. The KiCad freeware schematic capture tool is used to configure an active ...

Electrical and electronic circuits are around us. From our mobile phones to security systems, electronic circuits are everywhere. Designing a circuit follows a step-by-step procedure. Most of the time ...

What in the world is a breadboard? That’s an excellent question and I’m glad you asked. To thoroughly answer this question we need to take a quick trip back in time to before the 1960’s. Back then if ...

As I mentioned in my recent columns on the topic of adding pull-up or pull-down resistors to the inputs of unused or partially used logic gates and functions (see Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3), I was ...

Even in today’s digital, IT-intensive radio plant, there is still a need to design and build one-of-a-kind electronic circuits. Simple devices such as digital tone generators and small distribution ...

YOU can find yourself drowning in wires as your circuits get more elaborate. To add components without making an octopus, you need a breadboard. Breadboards are so called because early makers ...

Well, I must admit to being flabbergasted. I think I can say without fear of contradiction that my “flabber” has rarely been so “gasted.” The cause of my current state-of-gast was the rapturously ...
