SUMMARY

Connecting two solderless breadboards together using jumper wires is feasible and allows for expanded prototyping space. When linking the breadboards, it is crucial to pay attention to the power buses to ensure proper connectivity. The necessity of an additional voltage regulator depends on the current draw of the components being used; if the combined current exceeds the capacity of the existing regulator, a second one will be required. In this case, the user is operating with a 9V battery on the original breadboard.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of solderless breadboard layout and connections
  • Knowledge of voltage regulators and their specifications
  • Familiarity with current draw calculations for electronic components
  • Basic skills in using jumper wires for circuit connections
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to properly connect multiple solderless breadboards
  • Learn about different types of voltage regulators and their current ratings
  • Explore methods for calculating total current draw in a circuit
  • Investigate best practices for managing power distribution across breadboards
USEFUL FOR

Electronics enthusiasts, hobbyists, and students working on circuit projects who need to expand their prototyping capabilities using solderless breadboards.

i am running out of room on my current breadboard and the only breadboard i can find in my city is the same size as mine. if i can connect them do i need two voltage regulators or one? I am currently using a 9v battery on my old breadboard.

Sure you can string breadboards together so long as you pay attention to buses. Whether you need another voltage regulator depends on the current draw. Only you know that.
