Hi, this is my first time here^^. I am a mechanical student of year 1 semester 1.Glad to meet you all :) I love robot ever since i watch the gundum series when i was young. haha :D
I have some simple question (which actually i really dont know.....) concerning the connection of the electronic component in the prototyping board
1. How do i connect the component to the prototyping board? I mean the connection of the component, not about soldering :D (Is it also has the regulation of placing of the electronic component like the bread board did? And how?)
2. When i read the $50 robot tutorial, I does not understand why we need to connect 2 pin parallel together, but some of them only need to solder them individually. what does the power bus means?
3. Finally, how do i ground the component in the prototyping board? Is there also have some regulations?
Before i read the $50 robot tutorial, i was clueless to build a robot. It is a great tutorial for a absolute beginner :) Thanks for that, admin :)

Hi,

On a solderless breadboard, you just poke the components into the (right) holes.
If you want a voltage regulator for it, consider building a small circuit to go on the banana plugs (if the breadboard has got them).
2. When i read the $50 robot tutorial, I does not understand why we need to connect 2 pin parallel together, but some of them only need to solder them individually. what does the power bus means?
A bus (in this respect) is nothing but a wire or similar and a power bus is a wire conducting power (that's the simple explanation).
3. Finally, how do i ground the component in the prototyping board? Is there also have some regulations?
You make a connection to the ground line (or the 0V line in single supply circuits).
No regulation on the ground.

Gee thanks Soeren!! Thanks for the explanation! :) :)

I am really lucky this day. I never thought that I am going to see the answer of my problem in this thread about prototyping. I experience the same as LemonSkin and I also tried Soeren just said.
