should i get a breadboard?

[Mday]

for those who know what it is...

i think it'd be a good idea...

 

[mztykal]

Yep, you should. Cutting it on tables doesn't really 'cut' it. It leaves little scratch marks on it. Get one.

<Edit>

Never mind me.... just passing through. La da da dee....

 

[mztykal]

Shhh! I'm trying to confuse him! Help me out!

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

I use one to make Cole Slaw.

(Whispers to mztykal &quot;is that better?&quot

 

[Mday]

yeah, but if i want to make dough, i'll get a slab of marble ;-)

 

[Mday]

how many contacts should i get?

840

1680

3260...

 

[Emulex]

get a jellyboard they work great and clean pretty easy.

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

WTF you making Mday? I need to know to give advice.

I don't wanna brag, I don't wanna boast. I always tell them I like toast.

>YEAH, TOAST!<
>YEAH, TOAST!<

 

[Mday]

[Missus]

It's a good place to collect bread crumbs and you can recycle the bread crumbs for another recipe that needs it. Two bird with one stone!

 

[Killbat]

Nevermind, Mday, I'll take you seriously. Though I've never really used breadboards a lot (I usually go straight to the perfboard ), from what I gather they can be extremely handy for experimentation, testing, fine-tuning, blah blah blah. If you're into electronics, go ahead. I wouldn't mind having a nice one.

 

[guyver01]

Definitely!! it beats dialup!!

oh... i thought you said broadband.. my mistake

 

[sharkeeper]

Nothing like having a nice breadboard and a bucket of wires and components next to the can. Beats any magazine!

Cheers!

 

[goodoptics]

just curious, are you going to build a circuit on that?

 

[Missus]

Huh???

I get it we are not talking about a piece of wood...

 

[guyver01]

I take it your talking about something like this?

 

[guyver01]

Of course if you dont want to spend the money, you can try THIS

 

[Missus]

Looks like the crumbs would fall through on that and make a big mess on the counter...

I bought two of them because of school. Although, it isn't as fancy as the one with the power supplies. It's nice to have 2 when you are taking multiple electrical engineering classes at the same time.

Although, do you need it?

 

[TonyG]

I thought about buying one to run my computer fans to and have the power connectors on it, then run the switches off of it. I decided against it though because it would have been a pain to do.

You can make the best grilled cheeses on those.
