Breadboard Schematics

Hi,
You could just use different coloured single strand wire and a craft knife to build your bread board circuits neatly in the first place. It also makes it much easier if you want to transfer a design to permanently soldered strip board.

Take a picture of a neatly laid out bread board and everyone can see what you actually have wired rather than what you think you have wired.

Not the best example -


Its a lot neater than multi coloured flexible jumpers all over the place and if you stick with a convention like green for ground, red (yellow in my case) for power and white for signals its pretty readable. It takes seconds to measure off a piece of wire, cut it then roll it with the craft knife blade to strip it, it can be transferred straight to strip board for a permanent project or put back in your box for your next bit of bread boarding.

It is of course no substitute for schematics, but if you want help with something you have built, its the best/only way of communicating what you have built rather than what you think you have built.
