BlueBot Project #3

Post by Sadia22551 »

Hello! I would like to know if a full breadboard would work for this project, even though they are using a half breadboard. For our breadboard, the positive and negatives are switched, so like where the positive for the half breadboard is, that's where the negative is for the full. Please let me know as soon as you can. Thank you!

Hi Sadia22551,
There should be no issues with using a full size breadboard. As long as the power is flowing the same way through the different circuit components (i.e. from + to -), the system will work.

Good Luck and Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to help.

Hi Sadia22551 - in addition, we have a very detailed breadboard tutorial that may help you understand the differences between different types and sizes of breadboards:

Willey is correct though, as long as you keep track of the + and - buses properly, your project will still work. This goes for any project that uses a breadboard.
