Need pointers on how to convert schematic to breadboard

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around converting a schematic circuit into a breadboard layout. Participants are seeking guidance on assembling the circuit, particularly focusing on the connections required for multimeters and power supplies, as well as the types of breadboards available for use.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses confusion about starting the assembly process and the multiple node connections in the circuit.
  • Questions are raised regarding the type of breadboard available, with a distinction made between plug-able types and perfboards.
  • Another participant suggests using solid wire around 22AWG for connections and recommends specific color coding for power and ground wires.
  • Participants mention the importance of watching instructional videos linked in the discussion to gain a better understanding of using breadboards.
  • There is a suggestion to bend the leads of standard resistors at right angles for easier insertion into the breadboard.
  • Concerns are raised about using components with larger wire sizes, indicating that soldering smaller wires may be necessary for compatibility with the breadboard.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the use of specific wire types and colors for connections, as well as the utility of instructional videos. However, there is no consensus on the exact steps for assembling the circuit, as participants are still seeking advice and clarification.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the specific details of the circuit schematic, which may affect the assembly process. Additionally, the discussion does not resolve the uncertainties around the exact methods for connecting components and instruments.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be useful for students or hobbyists learning to assemble circuits on breadboards, particularly those who are new to electronics and require guidance on practical assembly techniques.

TL;DR
How would you translate the ollowing circuits to a breadboard
Hello.
I am supposed tolearn how to assemble the following circuit into a breadboard/protoboard

Captura de ecrã 2021-11-17 204307.png


but My attempts have all failed So I want to ask yyou how would you assemble his into a breadboard assuming that V and A are multimeters set to the previous(V and A) . how can I get the gist on where to start I get conused around the multiple node connetions also. Could you be o assistance?
Your time and attention are deeply appreciated thank you.

addittionaly i add that iths required that the wires from power supply and multimeters need to be attached directly to the resitors(thats the way I am learning )

Is this for your schoolwork?

What types of breadboards do you have available to you? Do you have the plug-able type, or will you be soldering components and wires onto a perfboard?

I have this kind of breadboard

I think is the plug-able type.

Yes it is. To familiarize your self with how to use them, check out this Google search hit list from searching how to use plugable circuit breadboards:

https://www.google.com/search?q=how...adboards&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-1

And to connect your intruments and power supply into the breadboard, you will use solid wire around 22AWB of different colors (use black for ground, red for power, yellow/white/other colors for signals).

Thank you for the advice.
Any tips or how to connect the circuit?

Watch a couple of the videos and you will get the idea. If the resistors are the standard 1/4W through-hole type, you can just bend the leads at right angles to the axial part and plug the leads into the breadboard. Then use 22AWG colored wires to make the circuit connections. When you need to connect a voltmeter, if the voltmeter has clipleads or EZHooks, just clip those onto wires that you stick into the breadboard.

If you end up with any components with wire size over about 22AWG, you will want to solder 22AWG wires onto the leads so that you can still make connections with the breadboard. If you try to jam the leads for a 10W power resistor into the breadboard, they probably won't fit and may damage the breadboard.
