    Thank you. I always learn something when I watch one of your videos.

    I'm wondering if the power distribution strip on that breadboard also has breaks in it…

    After watching this video a few years ago, I went ahead and ordered ten of those pc boards. I love them, what I ended up doing is chopping them into small boards and making small circuits that I had designed on breadboards. They work great for this as they are sort of layed out the same way so you can pretty much transfer them part by part if you so desire. I love the way you can access your rails, and once you have cut them away from the top and bottom, you can use the different rails for different voltages for amplifiers and such, I have found that even when they don't drill all the holes, I usually never want to use those particular holes anyhow. I did start drilling them out but it looked like more work then it was worth.

    I just figured the power rails were split so you could use more than one voltage level on the board. But why they would not work it, I don't know.

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bruce Woods says:

    Can you get access to the undersides of the breadboards and install permanent soldered links to defeat the breaks. It's what I would look at doing.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Madden says:

    To me, that sounds like a standard. Can you locate a spec sheet for that breadboard?

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Massimo O'Kissed says:

    I have an SYB-130 and the power rails are split into three bits, so each needs two jumpers to make a complete rail…

    I was desperate for a good PCB the other day for a project so I dug one of those boards out – I found that you can indeed use them for other designs simply by cutting some of the traces and using adjoining spots where necessary. Wire clipper seem to work ok followed by an exact o knife to insure the sever is clean.

    These Are some of my favorite youtube videos!

    the pcb are for driving LED's….

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Linkhunter says:

    look like i can use the 10x AA holder for my Amplifier board

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jerry Ericsson says:

    Trying to build on one of those blasted boards, only to discover that I must also cut the traces on the outter ground strip since the traces are connected nearly all the way up. My luck, I was trying to save space and started in a lower corner of the board. So now it is take the knive and cut traces. Really low quality. Oh why didn't I listen to you when you said you could not recomend them. Oh well, never to late to learn a lesson.
