Breadboard Tutorial
Using breadboards to build electronic circuits with through hole parts to test or learn about them.
When you need to connect a circuit using a few components it is next to impossible to solder even one wire directly unto the component leads and many times multiple connections are required. The go-to solution is a solder-less breadboard that makes people stop and think a bit on first uses. This short video hopes to get you over that hump and provide a few links to push you further down the road when trying to learn or connect your circuit. Only through-hole components (you know, the ones with protruding pins or leads) can be mounted without modifications on breadboards so surface mount components will require a future video or other methods.
