Description
This is for the real heads. The Walter Whites of circuit design who aren't happy with anything lower than 99.1% pure blue cooks. If you are that guy, if you want to be that guy: the Breadboard Butler is for you.
The Breadboard Butler module serves up all the stuff that you could possibly want to connect to your breadboarding circuit. We're talking power source, signal generator, external foot switch, even an oscilloscope! (We could add "and so much more" to the end of this sentence, but you get the drift, right?)
Here's what's built into the Breadboard Butler:
Power - Use a 9V DC power supply (center negative 2.1x5mm barrel) for fast and easy access to -9V, 0V (GND), +3.3V, +5V, +9V, and +18V.
Breadboard rail routing - Easily and independently route any combination of power and/or signals to the breadboard rails using the built in rail-patch sockets.
Dual 1/4" TRS inputs - Keep two different signal sources plugged in simultaneously and use the toggle switch to select between two (A/B) stereo sources to audition.
Stereo 1/4" TRS output - Stereo output if you want, mono if not.
"True" signal bypassing - Bypass your breadboard circuit and send the raw input signals directly to the output by toggling the onboard bypass push button or remotely by connecting an optional foot switch to the designated 1/4" foot switch jack.
Dedicated oscilloscope hookups - Don't just hear it - see it. Two onboard BNC jacks to simultaneously monitor your input and output signals. A slide switch for each BNC connector will toggle that jack between channel 1 or channel 2—or switch it off entirely.
Multiple projects in parallel - Swap breadboard projects in and out instead of tying down an "all-in-one" breadboard tool and limiting yourself to one project at a time. Need to start a new project or scratch out a quick idea but have an ongoing design all wired up? No problem. Leave your breadboard jungle as it is (to return to later) and just disconnect it from the Breadboard Butler, swapping it out for a fresh breadboard.
Excessive accessibility - Standard 2.54mm (0.1") female header sockets available in the following quantities:
| -9V (x4) | 0V GND (x8) |
| +3.3V (x4) | +5V (x4) |
| +9V (x8) | +18V (x4) |
| SEND CH1 (x2) | RETURN CH1 (x2) |
| SEND CH2 (x2) | RETURN CH2 (x2) |
It's called a "Breadboard Butler" because it helps you do the mundane, tedious and boring stuff you don't want to do. So you can focus on the fun stuff! Monocle and top hat and posh British accent are not included.
The Breadboard Butler and User Guide is produced by Huntington Audio Labs, which makes cool stuff for people who are really into experimenting with circuits.
