Breadboard Servo

Breadboard Servo
 I've noticed (like many of you already have) that servos don't connect too easily to breadboards(or arduinos). While you can use a male pin header to connect servos and breadboards, why not just create a Servo that can connect without any extra parts? Here's my simple solution, I'm sure its been done before, but here's my step by step guide on how to complete this simple 5 minutes project.

 For this project, you'll need a few things.

A Soldering Iron
A soldering iron can be purchased at quite a few places. For electronic work you'll want a lower wattage iron, try checking out radioshack. 
Three Breadboard Wires 
Breadboard wires have pins on each end, which make it very simple to plug them into breadboards and pin headers. I purchased mine from adafruit.com, it is a very reliable site, which also sells everything else needed to complete this project. 
Here are the breadboard wires that i bought www.adafruit.com/index.php
Wire Cutters
This is very self explanatory. You need this for clipping and stripping the wires.
Solder
This is for joining your wires together. Check adafruit.com or radioshack.
A Servo
These can be found on many hobby stores and websites. I actually purchased mine from amazoncom.
Heatshrink Wrap
The heatshrink wrap is for insulating your bare solder joints. this can be purchased from radioshack or any other electronic parts supplier.
