Where is an image drawing of this tiny solderless breadboard
that's empty, so I can use it for adding wires and making illustrations?
Thanks for you help.

    Tumbler, that's amazing! Thanks for this great find.
    Here's a sample board I made in a minute.

    PEBBLE - the Electronic Bread Board Layout Emulator can be
    used for protyping the small Parallax solderless breadboard

    It appears this program is a fast way to image prototype boards
    for various projects. It matches the solderless breadboard used
    by Parallax. More tests and more information will appear in the
    Robotic Brain thread here.

    That could be a handy program for Breadboard Prototyping...

    What's the trick to have the components display above the Breadboard when they are dropped in place?
    I was dragging and dropping components, but they just dissapear behind the breadboard.:frown:

    I did turn on the "Print background colors" in the I.E advanced options.
    Maybe it's My version of Internet Explorer?

    P.S.
    Humanoido, In Your Robotic Brain thread here., You used the spelling "Tumler", instead of "Tumbler":nerd:

    Hi Ttailspin, thanks for catching the typo - it's now corrected. To have the components display above the board, you can enable the workspace above (or below) the board. To have parts appear on top of the board, they just appear upon release of the mouse. You may try and see if they drop into the workspace. You must also select the version of the program (for IE or FF). The components should not disappear. I'm using version FireFox 3.6.13. Also, I did not touch the option to "Print background colors." When I tried the IE version of the program in FireFox, it still worked and I was unable to duplicate the anomaly you are seeing.

    I know Your not "in charge" of this program Humanoido, and maybe Tumbler, could chime in here,
    ...You must also select the version of the program (for IE or FF)...
    I did not see this option, or where to find it to make the change..
    Am I missing the Help file?

    I am sure this is part of My IE vs FF problem, but when I try to change the location of the Menu,
    it too, will hide from Me. I can only select the menu to be on the Left side of the screen..
    and I was unable to duplicate the anomaly you are seeing.
    Yup... that's Me allright..(sigh)

    This is going to be super handy to use, if I can get it to work with a dinasour operating system.

    Ttailspin, you're right, it's not my program, however I have full confidence that we can get it working for you. Select either IE or FF when you enable program at the web site, which then takes you to the appropriate page. If you take a look at the directory, I think it uses something like Flash and you would need to have the latest version installed. You can check this at the directory by back typing on the URL. You may want to install FireFox if the OS can support it.

    Into this...

    Thank You for Your time Humanoido..
    Now I am free to design the next space shuttle launch and recovery system..

    Thanks John Abshier, think we just cross posted.

    That's really slick. I see that you can pick the Gadget Gangster full and half board as the layout board instead of a breadboard. Would be nice to have the Propeller Proto Board in there too.

    For anybody interested, take a look at Fritzing and Virtual Breadboard.

    Kevin, thanks! This is very good open source stuff! The video for Virtual Breadboard is impressive and for Fritzing, the applications page is captivating with so many projects, rich and spectacular! We definitely need open source fun tools like this for the Propeller!

    ]That's a pretty slick little web application.. Shame we can't grep a copy and add some Parallax parts to it.

    I tend to do these by hand. I'd love an automated process for this..

    Fritzing has a Parallax BASIC Stamp and a Propeller chip! I started a review here.

    OBC, that's some mighty fine hand-work you did! I'm impressed!
    Care to share some insight to get us beginners started in the
    right direction? I wonder what program you used to draw the
    images..

    @OBC, you can download PEBBLE here: http://www.rev-ed.co.uk/software/pebble.zip and use it local.
    You can add all parallax products too, just take a look at the javascript files and add yours.

    Tumbler, thanks for the tips about downloading Pebble for local use, and adding Parallax products through the Javascript files! I'd like to try it with the Piezo Speaker.

    @Tumbler,

    Thank you! I'll look at that and add it to my todo list. Some Parallax products added to the list would really make it an awesome tool!

    You'll laugh. I honestly use mspaint. Only because I've been using it for twenty years.

    OBC, I'm not laughing, just smiling in good appreciation the skill level that you've developed using MS Paint over a 20 year time period.
