🍞 Breadboard PCB Board for Raspberry Pi and Arduino – ALLUS BB-017 (3pcs), 830-pin Solderless Prototype with 4 Power Rails and Double-Sided Tape Review

I think these things get a bad rap. For what you pay for them, they definitely fit the bill. The boards I received are not solid, look at the picture. The power rails are actually separate from the main body of the board and are held together by an adhesive backing. This is an interesting approach that might come in handy in the future if you want to split sections for some reason. The boards are straight, not curved, and have positive locking when inserting components, the rails are marked red

the internal metal clips/rails that connect the components were very tight(?) or maybe just glued together. All the inserted wires or components are just bent and bent, which is difficult to handle when prototyping on a board where there are many things. While the components aren't particularly strong, they slip easily so they might just be glued together. in any case a waste of time.

Wow. How can you ruin a breadboard? Well, the numbering system is completely misaligned. The letters are aligned but the numbers are not aligned across pins. Between the 2nd and 3rd line z. B. Pinmarker 0 is printed. And it would be nice if the number 5 was 5 pins away from 0, but it isn't. The difference is 4 1/2 rows of pins. The breadboard works though, so not a zero tip.

I saw the comment "how to screw up breadboards" but they did. I had to spend time debugging the code and rewiring the circuit only to realize the breadboard was the culprit. Tried different wires and literally none worked. Disappointed because I bought this for a course and now have to spend more time buying new layouts. 0/10 do not recommend. :(

DO NOT BUY! The findings are the same for all three boards after a few days of use. If you work with digital electronics, you know how difficult it can be to diagnose. The last thing you want are the dangling leads in the breadboard. Cost me hours of work and grades in class. I know breadboards can be intimidatingly expensive, but invest in quality. I have a breadboard I think is from Twin Industries that I've been using for almost a decade and every pin still works.
