GeekDoc 226 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I wanted a neater way to do some breadboarding at my desk, so I built an enclosure with batteries and two power supplies and mounted some breadboards to it. Click the photo to see the build on my blog. -Doc gatesphere and bluehash 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 This is nice! This way the boards stay together and dont shift. Also no dealing with back stickers anymore. Did your breadboard come with mounting holes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mnpumar 2 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Awesome! I would seriously pay for something like this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gatesphere 45 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Awesome! I would seriously pay for something like this. Seconded. Doc, have I told you lately, that you're awesome? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did your breadboard come with mounting holes? Yes, the boards came mounted to a piece of plastic (4 boards) that was a bit too big for my taste. There is a slight gap under the switch end of the boards because the inset on the front of the enclosure was about 1.5mm too small. This was helpful in giving enough room for the wires soldered underneath, but may allow shifting of the boards' connectors (maybe 0.5mm at most). Awesome! I would seriously pay for something like this. Don't buy it, make it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
simpleavr 399 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Awesome! I would seriously pay for something like this. u will need five of those, one for each digit and one for the master controller. GeekDoc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, simpleavr, I actually LOLed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ended up buying this today: http://www.amazon.com/9440-JW-350-Jumper-Wire-Kit/dp/B0002H4W0U/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1289612101&sr=8-1-spell Think it will all fit?

I'll have to save that link... Whether your project will fit or not is hard to say. Arranging the LEDs as digits as you described will be problematic with a breadboard layout. You may have to construct the digits on circuit boards and connect them to the rest of the circuit on the breadboard(s) with leads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
