Appendix A. The Breadboard
The process of getting a circuit to work might involve making lots of changes until it behaves properly. As you iterate your circuit, you might get ideas that help you refine your design, perhaps improving its behaviour, making it more reliable, or requiring fewer parts. The design evolves in your hands as you try different combinations; that’s something like an electronic equivalent to sketching.
Ideally, you’d like a way to build circuits that allows you to change the connections between components quickly and easily. While soldering is great for creating reliable, permanent circuits, you’d like something faster.
The answer to this problem is a very practical device called a solderless breadboard. As you can see ...
