HOW TO USE BREAD BOARD

the picture above is the bread board... seeing the pic u must have realised y its called a breadboard... I have delibrately made these rectangles... the holes coming inside one rectangle depict the way the holes are short with each other. This means that in R1,R2,R3..R8 the holes are short horizontally with each other and in R9,R10...R12 the holes are short vertically... pls note the holes are short only inside the rectangle ie holes of R1 are short with each other only not with any other hole in the whole breadboard There are 65X2 rectangles of the type R9... the design of Breadboard is quite appreciable as R1 ...R8 are used to supply the circuit the power and ICs are placed such that half there pins are in the Row of R9 rectangles and other half in R10 row of rectangles... now see how things are placed on this breadboard

Get Started with ELECTRONICS

To get started with electronics is difficult for most...

Getting started with electronics needs a bit of investment ( a useful and a necessary one )

Equipment required to start off..

1. Bread board

COST :- not more than Rs100

UTILITY:- this saves a lot of time as we don't need to solder anything, secondly we can test any circuit if its working and easily add applications before finally soldering the circuit

2. Battery ( 9V ) with cap

COST :- not more than Rs15

UTILITY:- this is required to supply a D.C voltage to the circuit

3. L.E.D's (Light Emitting Diode)

COST :- not more than Rs1/pc

UTILITY:- its the smallest CRO!!! well most problems are easily resolved by just testing whether L.E.D. is glowing or not

These are three basic requirements that one should have before making any circuit from simplest to most complex one's.

Rest of the equipment depends upon the type of the circuit you are going to make

MULTIMETER IS ANOTHER REQUIREMENT BUT IT CAN BE DONE AWAY WITH IN EARLIER STAGES....

THE REQUIREMENT OF BATTERY WILL BE ELIMINATED AS SOON AS YOU WILL MAKE A POWER SUPPLY...

YOU CAN BUY AN ADAPTER ALSO COSTING AROUND 80-100 BUGS... BUT USING A POWER SUPPLY MADE BY ONESELF GIVES ITS OWN PLEASURE....

BE READY TO MAKE A POWER SUPPLY....
