In this set of tutorials we're going to use a solderless breadboard as the prototyping base for the circuits we build.
_The Breadboard - Self-Adhesive (White)._
The breadboard included within the MicroView Learning Kit is the "Breadboard - Self-Adhesive (White)" from SparkFun Electronics.
The main area of our breadboard is comprised of rows and columns. Coloumns A through to J, and rows 1 through to 30.
The power and ground rails of the left and right hand sizes of the breadboard (denoted by the red and black lines) are not lettered or numbered. In the course we're going to copy what (the breadboard prototyping software) Fritzing does and refer to these columns as W, X, Y and Z.
Columns W, X, Y and Z of the power and ground rails.
Fritzing has uses a weird numbering scheme for the ower and ground rails, but it doesn't really matter as both the power and ground rails are vertically connected.
