ABSTRACT

Building successful breadboard circuits takes a bit of patience and a light touch. The Bazz Fuss is a circuit commonly encountered online, and often recommended as a good first project. With all the necessary components and supplies assembled, and a stripboard layout settled upon, it is time to start building the final soldered version of the circuit. Soldering is an important skill which requires practice above all. Having mastered the soldering skills necessary, building stripboard circuits becomes a fairly straightforward business. As with breadboarding, preparation and patience are key. Most circuits will involve resistors of different values, which must not be swapped. Breadboard contacts consist of little spring loaded metal jaws. If a component lead catches on the lip and is forced, it will bend out of shape before it seats properly.
