When are jumper wires on a breadboard entirely optional? When it’s the latest version of [Kevin Santo Cappuccio]’s Jumperless, which uses a bunch of analog crosspoint switches (typically used for …read more Continue reading Jumperless Breadboard V5 Readies For Launch
The Marimbatron is [Leo Kuipers] ‘s final project as part of the MIT “Fabacademy program” supervised by [Prof. Neil Gershenfeld] of the Center for Bits and Atoms. The course aims …read more Continue reading Marimbatron: A Digital Marimba Prototyping Project
For small electronics projects, prototyping a design on a breadboard is a must to iron out kinks in the design and ensure everything works properly before a final version is …read more Continue reading 2024 Business Card Challenge: Adding Some Refinement to Breadboard Power Supplies
The solderless breadboard is perhaps the electronic hobbyist’s most commonly used tool, but let’s be honest, it isn’t exactly anyone’s favorite piece of gear. Even if you’ve got an infinite …read more Continue reading Sandwizz Promises to Reinvent the Breadboard
What’s solder for, anyway? It’s just the stuff that sticks the parts to the PCB. If you’re rapid prototyping, possibly with expensive components, and want to be able to remove …read more Continue reading No Solder! Squeeze Your Parts to the PCB
I never feel like I have enough space in my workshop. The promise of consolidating tools to make the most of limited space drew me to the Snapmaker Artisan, a …read more Continue reading What The Artisan 3-in-1 CNC Offers (If One Has The Table Space)
Making hardware is hard. This is doubly true when you’re developing a niche hardware device that might have a total production run in the hundreds of units instead of something …read more Continue reading Supercon 2022: Carrie Sundra Discusses Manufacturing on a Shoestring Budget
Cars (including LEGO ones) will roll downhill. In theory if the hill were a treadmill, the car could roll forever. In practice, there are a lot of things waiting to …read more Continue reading What Does It Take For a LEGO Car To Roll Downhill Forever?
You think of breadboards as being a flexible way to build things — one can easily add components and wires and also rip them up. But MIT researchers want to …read more Continue reading Building Circuits Flexibly
There might seem like a wide gulf between the rapid prototyping of a project and learning a completely new electronics platform, but with the right set of tools, these two …read more Continue reading Wi-Fi Sensor for Rapid Prototyping
