What is a Breadboard? What is it Used For? How to Use It?
Hello friends, in this post I am here again with a topic related to Arduino. In this article, I will tell you what the object we call Breadboard is used for, how it is used and a bit about its working principle.
What is a Breadboard and What is it Used For?
Breadboard, which is translated as Circuit Board in Turkish, is a tool that allows us to build the circuit we will create with Arduino on the Breadboard itself, resulting in neater circuits. As you understand, the Breadboard allows us to build more organized circuits, and since it allows serial connection, it enables us to connect the components in the circuit in series easily.
There are 3 different sizes of Breadboards: Mini, Medium (Half - Medium), and Large (Full - Big), and all of them make our work easier depending on the complexity of the circuit we will build.
How Does a Breadboard Work?
The working principle of a breadboard is very simple. Inside, it works on the logic of connecting the components in the rows and columns in series, either horizontally or vertically, with conductors not touching each other.
If we need to give an example with a medium-sized Breadboard, we can explain it to you as follows:
The + and - lines, that is, the red and blue lines, are formed as a single piece downwards, while the other parts in the middle consist of a single conductor only horizontally, and do not touch the row above or below. Thus, you can connect the + and - sections in series from top to bottom, while you can connect the sections in the middle in series horizontally.
By the way, on a mini breadboard, the rows are only horizontally aligned and there is no vertical serial connection.
How to Use a Breadboard?
When it comes to using a Breadboard, we connect the circuit elements we want to use to the inputs we select on the breadboard, and then we can connect the connections we will make from the board to the rows where these elements are connected and use it.
To light up an LED with a battery and Breadboard, it will be enough to connect them as shown in the image above.
If we wanted to use Arduino instead of a battery, this time we could connect the digital output of the Arduino and its voltage, GND exit to the Breadboard, and then use the places we connected in series to light our LED.
