Little Breadboard

Gabriel

Hi guys, I have a Boe-Bot and a bunch of Lego controllers and I am playing with PIC's and AVR's also. I am building different types of robots to participate at robotic contests here and there.

In my projects, I use a lot breadbords bought from Jameco, however, many times I need just a small one to add to my PCB's or just plain wires soldered directly to components. I realy love the one that came with Boe-Bot and I use it anywhere I can. But sometimes I need more that one.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy those little 170 breadboards? I would realy apreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Gabriel Petrut

Go to the Parallax site, Browse all products/Component Shop and you will find those little breadboards.

Many thanks guys.

You might want to consider wire wrapping, its fairly easy, semi-permanent, and its more reliable than a bread board.

Heres a picture of a wire wrapped project of my own.

BPM, what kind of sockets are the discrete components mounted on?

Thanks BPM, but I work with kids, and for them is much easier to work with the breadboard. I can easily work with protoboards and wrapping wire for connections, but many of the kids can't realy do it on their own, without close supervision. Another thing is that they do only simple connections, learning electronics and having fun programming their robot to do different things. A slightly bigger breadboard is used at the moment, the 400 connections from Jameco, but sometimes we want to build small things and we could use the 170 breadboard like the ones in the link provided by Paul. And I also am interested in making a cheaper robot kit, somewhat like the Boe-Bot, to sell in my home country, Romania.
