Anybody have any manuals/tips for this prototype board?:
http://rangermike.jeph.net/protoboard.jpg

It appears to have:

- regulated 5v/1A output
- V1/V2 = 110VAC?

On the left side, there's three more connectors and two turn knobs.

Any help is greatly appreciated! I bought this thing at a flea market for
$5-10.

Thanks!
Mike

Sorry. I also wanted to ask for details on the layout of the breadboard ....

Thanks.

On the left side, there's three more connectors and two turn knobs.

I think it is highly unlikely that the V1/V2 binding posts are 120VAC.
They are much more likely to be something like +/-15 V DC.

The knobs and connectors on the side are likely variable positive and
negative supplies.

All this can be easily checked with a voltmeter, which you will need
if you intend to do any work with electronics.

The long narrow plastic blocks will have two busses running the full
length - you would use those busses to distribute power and ground
around the board.

The horizontal groups of five holes each side of the wide groove will
be connected together (that is, the five holes to the left of the
groove are connected, and the five to the right are connected, but
there is no connection across the groove.)

You insert an IC so it straddles the groove, with the pins inserted in
the columns of holes each side of the groove. Then you have four free
holes connected to each IC pin, where you can insert wire jumpers or
component leads to build your circuit.

You should use #22 or 24 solid wire for your jumpers - scrap
multiconductor telephone or data wire is a good source of suitable
wire.
