== Breadboarding == Breadboards are currently the main way to do solderless electronics. It varies by breadboard but generally they contain: * A grid of female holes spaced by 2.54mm * A series of short metal 'lanes' next to each under the holes, usually with half a dozen holes per lane * These lanes grab on to things inserted in to the holes and electrically join them * A gap down the middle separating two sets of lanes for inserting components pins on both sides * Two very long lanes on each side that run in a different direction to regular lanes, usually used for power * These long lanes may be split in to four on some breadboards There are no tactile hints for which way the lanes run electrically. You can infer the direction as outside the long side lanes for power, lanes are always short not long. If you really want to check you can remove the adhesive backing and feel the metal contacts underneath. Here's a list of things you might want to make a breadboard electronics project: * Resistors * Capacitors * Diodes * Transistors * Buttons * Buzzers * Arduino Micros * Multiple breadboards * Lots of containers to hold things You can find a lot of these on sites like [https://www.adafruit.com/ Adafruit], [https://www.sparkfun.com/ SparkFun], and [https://mouser.com/ Mouser]. If you're just confused about what to buy, contact me and I can give you some suggestions. Be sure to check out the [https://barbl.blogspot.com Blind Arduino Blog] and [https://groups.io/g/babamm/ Blind Arduino mailing list]. [[Category:Research]]
