DISCUSSIONS:

Proto-board/Breadboard

When building a “permanent circuit” the components can be grown together, soldered
together, or held together by screws and clamps. A prototyping breadboard allows you to
quickly build and test a circuit before constructing it more permanently. It is also known as
“solder-less” breadboard. Modern breadboards are made from plastic, and come in all shapes,
sizes, and even different colors. While larger and smaller sizes are available, the most common
sizes you will probably see are "full-size," "half-size," and "mini" breadboards. Most breadboards
also come with tabs and notches on the sides that allow you to snap multiple boards together.

PROCEDURES:

1. Test the internal connection of the breadboard by using the probes and continuity check
of the multi–meter.
2. Set your multi-meter to the continuity check symbol. Remember that this symbol might
not look the same on all multi-meters (and some multi-meters do not have it at all).
3. Insert the black and red probe into the holes for each given figure and observe the multi-
meter. Record your data on the given table.
