Forgot to add to the above link, better late than never.
The Fixture Plate Is also very useful as a hardware development tool.
Attached are a number of images showing how flexible the plate can be when used with standard sized modules; the combination can speed in your hardware project setups.
All components are securely held in place and the whole setup can easily be moved to different locations.
If there are any question with the images, please ask for explanations.
I like these tiny 2.54mm screw terminal blocks, as you can have them replace standard 2.54mm header pins on many components, in order to create some very strong and reliable connections for single core jumper wire, and/or male dupont connectors.
You can also cut some double-sided header pins, screw one end of the headers into the terminal blocks and make your components breadboardable again
Oscilloscope Connections on a Solderless Breadboard
Whenever you try to look at a signal on a solderless breadboard, the slightest probe movement inevitably pulls out the wire or component to which it is attached.
The following images show how to make a sturdy termination module where the scope probe can be attached.
The scope GND clip is attached to a similar module.
The module is made from a 2X5 pin, male, wire wrap header.
The 10 pins in this module ensure the probe will not dislodge a wire or a component.
A sharpie allows easy marking on card edge, red V, n
black G and whats left is signal. For more than one signal line i break out V and G and band both with on piece of hs tubing and then the G lead with a smaller dia piece of hs as a polarity indicator.
Breadboard friendly display module based around the AT Mega4809 (as used in Nano Every). Shown is the serial display, which is displaying millis from a Nano Every. Also can show serial data as hex. There are 8 digital inputs, which can be displayed as simulated LEDs or a simple trace like a logic analyser. The display can be rotated to suit the orientation of the breadboard. There are 2 analogue inputs, but I've not written any code for them yet. There are 2 serial ports, one on the breadboard connector and one on the UPDI connector.
