In the previous sections, different ways to build cases for your prototype were discussed to help you give your prototype a polished look. In this section, the focus is shifted to what is inside the case and a guideline on how to go from using a breadboard to making a professional Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is introduced.
Evolution of a circuit – from breadboard to PCB
Breadboards
As you already know, a breadboard is a simple construction base for prototyping electronics. Although breadboards come in many different sizes and designs, in general, they are composed of bus strips (the power rails marked with a blue and red line used to connect a power source and ground for the electronic components) and terminal strips (the...
