(And-please forgive me for deleting the 'a' there in breadboard. There are character limits in poll options for some reason
)
Settling a debate with a poll. What type of breadboard did you do your first electronics projects on?

One sneaky trick of the Twitter poll is that I don't get notified when someone votes - so I've no idea who's voting for what.

@starsandrobots wirewrap for me. -
@boldport now I'm curious — what was the project? -
@starsandrobots It was a microcontroller project for a university class. Can't remember what it was specifically. -
@starsandrobots Now that I think about it more, it might not have been the first, but it's been a while ;)

@starsandrobots And still do when I can help it. -
@cr1901 I don't know what you voted for :) -
@starsandrobots LMAO oops... I voted for solderless breadboard. I'll use protoboard if doing speeds above 10MHz or so. >> -
@starsandrobots Hell I may even "pray it works" and use a breadboard/breakout board anyway :D.

@starsandrobots Solderless was my first breadboard, but before that, I had a 100-in-1 kit with spring connectors. - 1 more reply

@starsandrobots It was a HeathKit kit that had springs for every contact. You'd bend the springs and insert wires. IIRC, cardboard substrateThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@starsandrobots I don't think solderless breadboards existed; probably stripboard first, maybe even perfboard without copper tracks.#oldguy -
@starsandrobots supplemental: learnt electronics from a Radio Shack kit, I think this one http://www.samstoybox.com/toypics/EPK65.jpg … -
@starsandrobots supplemental #2: earliest cct I remember designing was a NE555 bistable with 2 red LEDs, on stripboard.

@starsandrobots My vote assumes you'd count a kit like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1TII3Z-jXk … as a solderless breadboard. Stripboard soon after.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@starsandrobots also. i did a LOT of wire-wrap as a kid. i guess that counts as "solderless"Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
