jkg9:
- the center is connected to the ground pin on the bt module
- i had to move things around b/c everything was getting squished together
- i had to move the bt module off the breadboard b/c it won't work on the breadboard for some reason
No it's not.
Two resistors are joined in the third vertical "row of 5" top left.
And nothing else is connected to it.
Not a problem, as long as the resistor wires are not touching each other.
Maybe you connected it wrong (happende before,
or the breadboard has a bad row. If so, move the module to another spot.
