Hey guys,
So I finally got a multimeter and broke the first visual barrier (reading
resistors) and five minutes later I've hit another: breadboards. They're
like an Excel spreadsheet for Ant-Man. If I could shrink to the size of an
ant, I might have a shot at putting everything in the right place, but so
far that's my best guess as to how to crack this one. The "cells" are
spaced way, way too close together, and when components have 3 or 4 wires
that need to be plugged in at exactly the right place, I just don't know if
I can do it. I got one of my projects working by sheer fluke, plugging
stuff around wherever I guessed the crappy diagram said, but I can tell
this probably isn't the right way to do things. :)
So is there such a thing as a breadboard with better spacing between
cells? Or maybe a way to link two wires without being required to use
one? I heard somewhere that "electrical tape" can tape them together and
they would still conduct electricity, but that sounds pretty far-fetched.
Either way, I'd be interested in any strategies you guys use to get by this
insanely way-too-visual obstacle. Thanks in advance. :)
