Hello,
I am new here and i was going to build the 50$ robot, but i plan to use a breadboard instead of a pcb and i wazs confused with the schematic.Can someone please explain the modfications i need to make and if any one has a modified schematic for the breadboard
,please post it.
Also i was confused at the power buses in the tutorial, i know in that in breadboards you have 2 buses along the sides and in the middle there are 5(usually 5 i think) holes which are interconnected.do i need to make the power buses in the breadboard circuit?
Has anyone ever made the circuit using a breadboard,if you have can you please post photos.
all help is appreciated
Thank you,

Good morning.
Your project on a breadboard won't look anything like it does on the tutorial. On the plus side you can use the breadboard a chassis material and mount the servos on it. It sounds like you have a good idea how the bread board works. If i were to build the circuit on a breadboard I would probably not put in the power buses that are part of the $50 tutorial. This shouldn't be a problem for the sensors but will make connecting the servos a little more difficult.
The best advice I can give would be to start by placing the microcontroller and then start making connections one at a time until you have the circuit complete. The fact that you are doing it on a breadboard does not change where things are connected.
Good luck

thanks conscripted,
i think I've got the circuit figured out,
But has anyone tried to make the circuit on a breadboard before??
If you have please post pictures if possible or even just directions on what you did.
