LED Umbrella with Arduino

Step 11Breadboarding

Breadboarding
This project uses the Protoshield from Adafruit Industries with a tiny breadboard (although any setup that fits in the umbrella should work). The tiny breadboard has seventeen (17) rows and this project uses them all! Note that the breadboard shown does not include the MIC2981. I don't have one. Yet. The umbrella works well enough without it, that I decided to write this instructable before getting one.

Many different configurations are possible so use this as a guide. Note, however, the location of the pushbutton switch. Two pins on the Arduino can be (easily) configured as interrupts, and the pushbutton switch has to connect to one of them.

The picture below is WITHOUT the MIC2981 chip. I will upload an image when I get the part and modify the breadboard accordingly.
