[Coco] How many still breadboard?

[EDDY SZCZERBINSKI]

Hello,
sorry for the late reply but the hands-on electronics course I was referring to was McGrawHill Contemporary Electronics. There were 12 modules. It was by mail available in Canada and the States.
happy easter all
Eddy

With that full stop and my delayed start with the Canadian Coast Guard, I actually got my electronic course out of the boxes and started breadboarding again today doing the lessons-exercices.
Nice memories and a great activity.

How many electronics folk in this group still used breadboards?

I found this video of Ben Eater fascinating on the subject:

He includes some good electricity / electronics theory in there too.

Last year I spent a good amount time learning and bread-boarding some circuits with mixed (sometimes frustrating) results – but had some successes. I am wondering if I’ve been using the cheap breadboards that are no good -- most likely yes!.

I am just curious; do you bypass bread-boarding altogether or go directly to PCB and troubleshoot multiple versions of that?
