Breadboard Prototyping...

Posts: 46,084
Hello All,
What experiences have you had with putting your Basic Stamp
prototype circuits together on breadboards? I'm aware of capacitance in
breadboards, but are there other issues that I should know of compared to a
final PCB version of the same circuit?
Thank You,
Tim

As long as you stay away from high frequency applications, I think it should
be OK with breadboards.
I've made some test circuits (dual thermometer with LCD, real time clock,
relay switching...) with a breadboard without any problem... except some
wires poping out of the board... then I used thicker wires, and it's OK.
And I always put a 10 or 47 µF capacitor on the supply lines of the
breadboard itself.
Phil.

out for 0.400 DIPs like you get at Radio Shack. We have a local shop that
makes a much better version of the board, but its the same layout. I use 26
ga telephone wire or 26 ga buss wire for all my connections other than
external sensors, etc...
Prototyping is done on a solderless breadboard. Never had a problem with
things doing what they shouldn't with either method.

Thanks for taking the time to provide input regarding your experience.
Much appreciated,
Tim
