[Claudio] was working on a homebrew oscilloscope project when he started thinking about how unsuitable a standard breadboard is for a large-scale project. Rather than adding components on top of ...

MIT has unveiled an exciting innovation in the realm of electronic prototyping with the introduction of FlexBoard, a flexible breadboard that revolutionizes the process of designing interactive ...

Words such as breadboard and prototype have an almost romantic allure in the electrical engineering world. Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they are somewhat different: a ...

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 ...

Makers, hobbyists and developers that might be on the lookout for a new electronic breadboard might be interested in a new device created by Clifford Dax called the Bakerboard. The Bakerboard ...

It's not as easy to prototype today as it was. Since packaging technology has moved so far to provide us with reduced board space and higher I/O counts, it also carries with it the inability by most ...

One of my favourite things to do on a cold winter night is to heat up my soldering iron and sit down at my workbench for an hour of circuit board building. Unfortunately, many of the development ...

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, it’s a funny old world, and no mistake. When I first commenced writing Part 1 of this ever-growing mini-series, for example, I really expected to cover ...

[Photo: Adafruit] So, you’ve got a Raspberry Pi (or you’re impatiently waiting for one to be shipped, as most of us are) and you’re trying to figure out what to do with it. The options are pretty much ...

Back in 2010, Bob Pease sent me a couple pictures of some prototype printed circuit boards (PCBs) he had made in the early 1960s. Pease got to be a great analog engineer because he would hack away at ...
