So, I used breadboard back in university to test small tricky analog circuits, but these days, with simulation being a thing, I would never consider breadboarding a non-trivial digital circuit. If you really need to get hardware on the ground in a hurry, at least do wire wrap.
What would be the point of a breadboard circuit this large? Or am I missing something?
To @op and everyone commenting who probably won’t read this: you guys do know that you can buy a kit full of pre-bent wires for each length on the breadboard for super cheap?
Not to belittle the hand done perfection before me, good work. Just saying for the ones who seem to be struggling and asking how its done.
Damn this brings back memories, when I was in job training for avionics I always went for 90° angles, be it solid wires or stranded wires, I always went for perfection even though that cost quite some time
One thing I realize after building it, twice ; and miserably failing, thus far anyway, is that the detecting circuit only needs the bits you want to detect. I only used ones and treated each chip individually to add my bits to the proper numbers. I don’t have a signal generator, so I built his clock module. Cranked it to the max and put 3, 161 chips on a Seperate breadboard, and a 10 led bar display to keep track of the count, to confirm each was recognizing the right number. Slowing the clock down near the number helps to catch it. Counting the vertical takes patience, unless you treat it as it’s own circuit, use the 161 on the breadboard and make sure it gets to the ranges in the 6’s. Without a signal generator. I found this to be his most challenging project that I literally have sprawling over my table, wiring in shambles from trying to find out why it doesn’t work.. ‘I’ll make it pretty when it works ‘.. after 4 days of pondering, angry , from not knowing what about the schematic you missed?! .. Yea, the rewire ain’t happening.. nice job sir..
Oh nice that looks like a ben eater inspired graphics card. U know i made a 40×30pxl vga driver using Arduino that could also run simple games like snake, pong, space invaders. I would love to showcase it once I’ve completed coding the game. Plz give me some suggestions of what type of game should i make?
It does. I’m taking notes.
Shame about the decoupling capacitors, though
It’s very nice. But you may want to try… kicad.org
I don’t see any bypass capacitors. Does it work? It does look nice.
Wow! So beautyful !😍
looks good for but impractical in high speed circuits

looks very neat.
you should try designing a PCB, see how it goes.
I do the same thing. It makes it much easier to find wiring errors!
Also if a wire somehow comes out, it’s easy to figure out where it went.
Ben Eater? Is that you?
Ben Eaters “worst graphics card”? That one got me into electronics again…
Is this Ben Eater’s graphic card?

“i swear to god teacher, if i push this part the system works!!”
I did something like that for a perfboard project’s wiring. Never again will I do it. Enormous pain in the ass.
Ok Ben we get it 😉
😍
It’s tidy, but f*cked if I can figure out where each end of a given wire within a bundle of the same colored wires go to.
Ben eater fan, aren’t you?
This is awesome. I for dear life always tried to manage to do this but ended up with crappy cable management.
It does.
Dude, this is really neat and VERY organized. I’m curious about the colour scheme, what are each set of coloured wires for?
Also, how do you deal with loose connections? I’ve always had this problem with solderless breadboards that I never fully trust and unsoldered joint.

What are you making?
Come on man no nsfw? Cant be seen with porn like this on my work computer!

It’s not so bad, but you can do it [better](https://i.redd.it/5cvn3lxipgd41.jpg)..
I read ‘wife management’ at first lol
Did you spend more time on the wires instead over the actual circuit design?
Your wire management looks really nice.
Why did you decide to use EEPROM for you graphics memory?
This looks great. Tried to get into breadboards and making my own circuits but never really found a text that wasn’t too basic or too advanced.
Can you suggest a book that would help in building circuits? Awesome work!
Damn this brings back memories, when I was in job training for avionics I always went for 90° angles, be it solid wires or stranded wires, I always went for perfection even though that cost quite some time
The best cable management i ever seen in a pc
The fact that you used the same colored wires for adjacent connections tells me you are very confident.
For some reason Hot Dogs come to mind…
It looks great, but does it work?
When I worked with breadboards and tried to do this, the wires would break internally and the circuits would stop working.
Then I would have to double check every connection again and again.
at this point why don’t you just build it on a pcb or on one of those pcb matrix boards.
it must be pain in the ass to take these apart also even bigger pain if you have to rebuild it if you need it again.
That’s Ben Eater level of wire management
Damn!! Love it!
no bypass capacitors needed?
It’s ok.. if you don’t like being in a fetal position with a cell phone flash light..
Best part is, I can actually look at yours and see why mine doesn’t work..

Ben Eater is that you?
