This is a supplemental video to our page titled "The Ultimate DIY 3220-Point Breadboard". The purpose of this video is to show how to take parts of four 830-point breadboards to create one larger 3220-point breadboard. We will do this as part of The Ultimate DIY 3220-Point Breadboard project done on our website (info below).

Okay, now we're at the point in our DIY 3,220 point breadboard project where we need to actually make the 3,220 point breadboard
0:14
Before I begin, just a quick note here, when you have your breadboards or when you get breadboards, make sure that they're all the same because they're going to need to need to
0:29
to line up properly. If I grab a breadboard that I have here off to the side, this one looks
0:39
similar to these other ones, but it's a little different. If I were to remove one of these off of here
0:52
and I'll remove this one. These are two different brands of breadboard
1:03
And if I were to line these up just side by side at first
1:10
you can tell that the one on the right is a little longer than the one on the left
1:18
and if I try to connect these grooves together, you know, these interlocking keyways to or these connectors
1:28
to put these breadboards together, you can kind of see if I try to line this up the best I can
1:38
on its side that this first one seems to line up and as it moves down, you can tell the middle ones
1:47
slightly offset to the right and then as you get further down the last one doesn't even line up
1:58
So if you were to try to put this together, I can get the first one in
2:08
And then the second one, it's just slightly offset and then. The very last keyway and groove just doesn't quite line up
2:30
So I know that's kind of hard to see in the camera, but these are two different styles of breadboard or two different brands
2:41
So just be sure that when you have your breadboards or you buy new breadboards
2:47
that you're getting four of these from the same company or same brand
2:58
Now, I don't know if these are all the same brand for my breadboards
3:12
It looks to be that these two may have come together in a pack and these two may have come together
3:17
in a pack because they slightly different they very subtle differences The main thing is that the numbering and the lettering for these ones are just a tiny bit darker
3:31
And the lines on the power rails are a little darker than these ones
3:37
And these two are the same. And these two are the same
3:44
But anyways, another thing that you can tell here is, is that there's, I have all of these facing to where the numbers and the letters at the top for the columns
4:03
they're all right side up facing me. So what I mean is that if you were to look, the letters for the columns are facing towards me
4:17
They're not upside down like this. They're right side up. And the numbers are also right side up
4:25
And that's true for each one of these. So I want to start out like that
4:31
But you can tell that these two have these little key connectors on their right side
4:42
when the numbers and letters are facing me. but these two have these little keyway connectors on the left side with the numbers and letters facing towards me
4:57
So I need to be conscious of that and the way they're going to interlock
5:04
you need to pay attention to what you're removing so that they all connect together as one piece
5:12
So what I mean by that is I've already, if I flip these over
5:16
I've already pre-cut these, and I also marked in X's that you can kind of see here of which sides I needed to cut off in order to get them to interlock with each other as one whole piece
5:40
So for this first one, I needed to cut off. this left side, which will be the right side power rail
5:54
And for this one, I'm not cutting anything off. I'm just leaving it as is
6:01
And for this one, I'm cutting the left side off, which if I flip it over, it's the right side rail
6:11
And again, this one has the key ways that are pointing that
6:16
way so that means that when I remove this one there's going to be a groove on the
6:24
right side like this whereas these ones have the keyways on the right side and
6:32
when I remove this one there's still going to be these little keyways facing
6:38
towards the right and you see this when I start putting this all together in a minute And this one I want to cut off this left side which when I turn it over it the right side rail
6:53
So I'm going to take my first one. I've already pre-cut down the line here, down the separation groove between the power rail and the rest of the breadboard
7:07
and since I've already cut it all the way down, I'm going to remove it
7:15
So I've got this power rail. I'm going to set it off to the side because we'll need two of those later
7:23
So now you can see that this breadboard's right side is removed
7:28
These little key connectors are facing out towards the right. I have my second breadboard and I'm not removing anything from this one
7:44
So I'm leaving it alone. I have this third breadboard and I've already pre-cut this one as well
7:54
And I'm going to remove this right side power rail and I'm going to set it off to the side
8:07
So now this one's right side rail is missing. And its right side has the grooves for the key connectors to slide up in there
8:25
And then this fourth one, again, I've already pre-cut it. I'm going to remove this side, which is the right-side rail for this one
8:33
and there we go. I'll set it off to the side as well
8:42
So now this right side rail is missing as well, and its right side has these grooves
8:49
for the key connectors to fit up in there as well. Now, paying attention to how these are going to interconnect
8:59
I'm going to have this one that has the keyway connectors facing out towards the right, this whole piece that has the grooves on the left side
9:20
I want to connect these together like so. I'm going to place this down
9:31
Now for this one, I can't connect it this way because you can see that I have two key ways that butt up against each other
9:41
So I'm not going to be able to connect it. So that means for my breadboards, I'm going to have to turn this breadboard around
9:51
So now its numbers and letters are upside down to me. and I going to connect the grooves and the key ways to this one And similarly for this one I can connect these two together because these two keyway connectors
10:17
butt up against each other. So I'm going to have to rotate this one as well
10:23
And then I'm going to slide these connections in together, making sure that all of them are connected
10:34
And there you have it. So this is not quite 3,220 points yet, but as you can see, I have a power rail here, and then we have the center section, a power rail, this center section, a power rail, this center section, a power rail, this center section, a power rail, this intersection, and a power rail, this intersection, and a power rail
11:04
I need my power rails to alternate throughout my main piece of my breadboard here
11:13
And also, again, this breadboard and this breadboard, its numbers and letters are right side up
11:23
And this breadboard and this breadboard, its numbers and letters are upside down, which is fine
11:31
but that's the way I had to put mine together. Yours may be different, but in order to get my four breadboards together
11:39
I needed to orient mine in this way. So in order, well, let me say this first
11:51
So we modified three of the breadboards, and we took, for each one, we took one of its power rails off
12:01
So one full breadboard, let me get one. One full breadboard is an 830 point
12:10
If I remove one of the power rails, I'm removing 100 points out, so that leaves me with 730 points
12:19
So I have three breadboards that I removed one of their power rails from, which gives me 3, 730.3.3.3.5.5.5
12:31
point breadboards and I left one full breadboard so that's 830 points so altogether that's
12:40
3,020 points but we still need two of these power rails that we cut off earlier and each of
12:56
these power rails have 100 points making up the other 200 points that we
13:01
we need that when we place them together I'm going to go ahead and connect these two together
13:11
When we place them together at the top, I'm going to move this around
13:17
When we place them together as such and we have our entire setup like this, then now we have
13:25
we have 3,220 points for our breadboard here
