In-Depth Information
In the middle of the board, the holes are connected across the board. So, if you plug in a
wire, and another wire in the hole right next to it, these two wires will be connected, as
shown in the following image:
Tip
The two rows on each side of the board are generally designed to provide power, so they
are connected up and down.
So, let's place the electronic parts on the breadboard. Place the LEDs so that one wire is
on one side of the middle split of the breadboard. The direction of the LED is important;
make sure the longer of the two wires is on the left side of the hole.
Now, place the resisters on the holes on one side. The direction of the resistor does not
make any difference, but make sure the second wire lead is placed in the row of holes at
the end of the board.
These will all be connected together, and will be connected to the GND of your Arduino
using one of the jumper cables, as shown in the following image:
