Question Re: Cypress Layout (over wires?)
I must be either incredibly tired or amazingly stupid, or both....we have the manual that Joe Ross provided at our kickoff and quickbuild session, so I dont think the problem is in the paperwork but in me! For the life of me I cant tell where the jumper wires go! I cant see them well enough in the pictures and you cant see the bottom of the cypress board ( DUH ) so theres a hesitation to just install a wire to each pin on the cypress board and just take them out to .....nowhere? Is it really that simple? Do we just attach a jumper wire to each pin of the cypress board where it attaches to the breadboard and rely on friction to hold it all together? I like the little board that was mentioned earlier, is it going to be legal to use?

Well the bigger question is the physical layout and attachment of the wiring. I think in my case, too many years of doing avionics and other such work has just made me leery of randomly attaching leads without knowing their destination!

Thanks much in advance, Ive spent 3 hours now trying to find this here on the net, keep coming back to the same materials.

Mike
