Hey Everyone!
I've been getting into EE, and I want to invest in a breadboard. Do you guys have any suggestions? I was thinking of getting one like this one. For that one, radioshack has free shipping until tomorrow (January 17, 2010), so I was debating to get that one for $20 bucks, or get this bigger one that is very pricey ($22 + $10 shipping). I plan to use this throughout college, so should I start with the smaller one, or invest in a bigger long term one?
On another note, I have a power supply from a Cannon printer that outputs 24V DC current (I think it is DC), and what I could do is use a 5, 9, or 12V voltage regulator transistor to take the voltage down to what I need. Is using a transistor for regulating voltage hard to do?
Thanks Everyone,
