Previous: Breadboard techniques and simple circuits.
Spend some time getting acquainted with the tools available at your
workstation. Make sure you understand their markings, controls, and
limitations. A few minutes spent now on learning your way through the
oscilloscope's knobs and dials will quickly pay off.
- Become familiar with the breadboard socket connections
- Investigate the power-supply controls and the output voltages provided
- Practice the techniques of connecting between devices on the breadboard,
and to devices not on it.
- Measure variable voltages on the ``job board'' over their full range,
V and V. Use both the scope and the DMM.
