Side Notes - Breadboard Friendly Connections

ntewinkel

The thermistors were provided mostly with pigtail wires, and a few had special connectors that, sadly, I don't have a match for. So I decided to solder some breadboard friendly ends onto all of the thermistors in the kit, to make it easier to experiment…
