  • My worst project mistake? I guess I would say trusting a breadboard connection that “looked fine.”

    I spent hours debugging firmware, rewriting code, and questioning my life choices… only to find one jumper wire sitting half a millimeter out of the socket Slight smile.

    Lesson learned: in electronics, 90% of problems are either power, ground, or a wire pretending to be connected.

    Yes, breadboards can be insidious - especially when contact deforms after inserting goldpin connector and is only pretending to hold e.g. (thinner) resistor wire afterwards... And try to find this problem when it appears...

    Haha, very true. Breadboards are just so good at looking completely innocent and ruining your day. The worst part is when everything works after you poke it with your finger and it’s just been begging for your attention all along.
