A perfboard (or stripboard) is a single-sided PCB with a grid of holes you solder components onto. Use a breadboard for prototyping; move to perfboard when the circuit works and you want it permanent and portable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhy isn't my breadboard circuit working?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eThe four most common issues: the power rails aren't bridged across the gap (some boards split them in the middle), components in the wrong rows, leads not pushed in fully, or a borrowed jumper wire with intermittent crimp.

Where they struggle: high-frequency RF circuits, very high current, and tight SMD layouts where the leads won't reach the rails. For most beginner Arduino, Pi and microcontroller learning, a breadboard is the right starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.zedlabz.com\/en-eu\/collections\/bread-boards-prototyping.oembed","provider":"ZedLabz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
