hi,
I want to make a little piano using arduino micro 32u4,
I am confused with the breadboard and the connections don't fit well so I spend a lot of time
diagnosing where the connection is loose.
What do you think of this prebuilt PCB ? for a small price, I can plug in my arduino directly in the socket and start to test my code.
Do you think it is a good idea to get this PCB and make a nice piano prototoype.
thank you
It seams like You use the wrong kind of wires, cables etc when connecting to the bread board.
Can You show a close photo of those not working components?
Looks plausible. If you get a bare PC, be sure any components you buy will fit.
If your little piano uses only what’s on the board, it might save some headache and time.
On the other hand, I won’t be the only one who finds this
a little surprising. True, there is something to learn and they can be fiddly. On the other hand, many millions of hobbyists somehow come to grips with this level of technology and manage to get quite a bit of good work done using it.
I recommend you spend time rather than money. Take some time learning how to use, and what to use with, breadboards. They do work.
The time will probably only be the same time you’ll spend learning how to use one guy’s “easy way out”, and instead of mastering a narrow, limited technique or piece of hardware you will be equipped to do… anything all the rest of us do, just like we do it.
You won’t take long to outgrow that PCB. Unless your project is fully handled by it and you want to do no more, take the more general approach.
