Yes, the PI is rather static sensative. Really a grounded wrist strap and a
grounded anti static mat are a really good idea if you're going to be
getting your little charged haptors in there a lot. A good sized metal
tray, old baking sheet? is a very good plan if nothing else.

Raspberry- Pi is very sensitive to mis-connection or the shorting together
of adjacent points.
This is in comparison to the Arduino, for instance, which is much tougher.
Ok, you say, you ALWAYS SWITCH OFF before making tests..... ...... Always?
I generally advise that the breadboard, along with the processor board,
should be firmly located on a decent sized tray capable of supporting the
wrist while you are picking along the rows of holes.

Mike,
As for breadboards, I use a a wire to count holes. It is not efficient but
kind of works.
