Introduction: IOT Ethernet Testing Board

About: US Army Veteran, Maker and Tinkerer- Makers make things without tinkering or following instructions on a worksheet to complete a project is less about tinkering to me. However, if in the middle of making you…

If you are like me you might have ideas that you would like to change easily or not want to deal with taking something all the way apart to get a part or board out. Also don't make enough to have tons of extras so I am a scavenger of electronic parts and components. This also gives you the ability to run 8 different wires using low voltage and signal across cat5e.

Step 1: What You Need and How To.

Supply's

1.)Electronic Circuit Test Board Breadboard 82mm x 55mm x 8mm

2.)Project Box 66mm x 90mm

3.)Cat5e cable

4.)Cat5E Punch Down Jack

5.) Hot Glue gun

6.) Double sided tape

How To

-Take the project box and stick test board to the top with the double sided tape.

-Cut a short length of cat 5 or wire to use to plug 8 connections into board. you want it to loops out of the box and reach all the points of the testing board without straining the cable or pulling itself out.

-punch wires according to the punch down jack directions. Now strip 1 inch or so of the outer coating off the 8 wires on opposite end so the individual wires make a connection when placed in chosen holes.

-Unscrew the box and hot glue the punch down jack into box and put back together.
