It can be frustrating to use Arduino Pro Minis and Bobweeny type boards with a breadboard because these cards take up a lot of real-estate.
Add two 1.75” standoffs to a breadboard thereby raising the controllers to a second story.
This way you do not lose any breadboard column connections.
The standalone controller card is mounted on a ‘proto board’ as seen in the images.
The header pins are a 1:1 relation to the controller card pins.
I flared the header pins out at the top so the controller PCB does not interfere with the jumper pins.
Using DuPont male to male wires, you jumper the upstairs headers to the breadboard below.
The pièce de résistance comes when we get Crossroad’s new Mega breadboard friendly board Megaweeny.
