Solderless Breadboard Layout Sheets (plug and play electronics)

Step 2 Component LIbrary

To use the components simply download either the Inkscape (.svg) or Adobe (.pdf) file attached to this step.

The current set of components is a bit of a random selection of those we've found useful around the .:oomlout:. offices. More will be added as we draw them.

If you've drawn a component for we'd love to have you share it here (send us a message if you'd like collaboration privelages, or simply e-mail us the file and we'll integrate it into the library)

Current Component List

Breadboards
Breadboards occasionally vary in how they align their power strips, we currently have two supported layouts

• Breadboard 1 - 400 Contact breadboard (available from .:oomlout:. (UK) or adafruit (US)/International
• Breadboard 2 - 400 Contact breadboard (available from all electronics

Discreet Components

• Resistors - 1/4 watt resistors currently in (560, 2.2K ohm and 10k ohm) (these are available from any electronics shop, even radio shack).
• Diode - A simple axial diode (we use an 1n4001 for most purposes)
• Axial Capacitor - Common form factor for medium sized capacitors
• Crystal - Metal can type crystal
• Piezo Element -

LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)

• 5mm LED (T1 3/4) - The most common size LED
• 12mm LED - A large LED
• Piranha LED - A common form factor for RGB LEDs
• 8 x 8 Bi-Color LED Matrix - A medium sized LED matrix

Inputs

• Photo Resistor - A light dependant resistor
