Working with Breadboards

Connecting parts directly to the
Arduino is an option only in the
simplest cases. Usually, you ll
prototype your projects on a
breadboard that you connect to
the Arduino. A breadboard is like
a circuit board, but you don t have
to solder parts to it; instead, you
simply plug them in.
All breadboards work the same
way. They have a lot of sockets
you can use for plugging in
through-hole parts or wires. That
alone wouldn t be a big deal, but
the sockets are connected in a
special way. Figure 9, How sockets
on a breadboard are connected, on
Figure 8 Breadboards come in various types
