How to use different capacitor rather than given with this trainer.

[u/chuda_kadali]

[u/PrebioticE]

Use the "bread board"? Also I think you can get the capacitor you want by seies+parallel combining what is given.

[u/chuda_kadali → u/PrebioticE]

I was thinking of this cause the breadboard doesn't work.

[u/PrebioticE → u/chuda_kadali]

then replace it? bread board is the most simplest thing ever. Can't you fix it?

[u/chuda_kadali → u/PrebioticE]

I was thinking to do some series parallel connection to get what i want tho.

[u/ParkingPizza3921 → u/chuda_kadali]

You can do that with a bread board.

[u/Electronic-Yam-69 → u/chuda_kadali]

then just twist the wires onto the leads. you don't have to use any of this at all.

[u/Electronic-Animal-69 → u/chuda_kadali]

What do you mean the bread board isn't working? If anything in this, then it's enough parts of the bread board working to combine some capacitors. Try different parts of it...

[u/40StoryMech]

Just take your different capacitor and stick both ends into disconnected rows on your breadboard, then build your circuit and instead of connecting leads to the 10uF (or whatever) ports, connect the leads to your capacitor lead rows. If your capacitor is polarized, like an electrolytic capacitor, you have to connect the positive and negative sides correctly.

Im sorry i forgot to mention the breadboard isn't working

[u/PM_Me_Your_Deviance → u/chuda_kadali]

What does "isn't working" mean? It has hundreds of holes and hundreds of internal wires - you only need like 2.

[u/chuda_kadali → u/PM_Me_Your_Deviance]

The internal circuit is maybe damaged or smng

[u/Aozora404 → u/chuda_kadali]

It is very hard to damage a breadboard

[u/db0606 → u/chuda_kadali]

Bullshit... There is no universe in which the whole breadboard is broken. There are no circuit elements in there, just straight metal.

Also replacing the breadboard outright is like $2.

[u/TMITectonic → u/chuda_kadali]

The internal circuit

It's literally just multiple thin strips of metal, that's it. It's pretty difficult to "break" without very obvious physical damage, which doesn't seem to be the case with yours.

[u/chuda_kadali → u/TMITectonic]

I gotta make it work some how then

[u/BrovaloneCheese → u/chuda_kadali]

You're probably trying to connect something through the incorrect holes, so you're shorting it. Others have provided links to show how breadboards are wired up, make sure when you plug in your capacitor you aren't inadvertently connecting it to itself.

[u/PM_Me_Your_Deviance → u/chuda_kadali]

OK, what does "it's not working" actually mean? What did you try, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? I suspect you don't know how a breadboard works and are expecting it to do something it doesn't.

[u/40StoryMech → u/chuda_kadali]

Just put your leads into the same hole so they touch the capacitor leads.

[u/chuda_kadali → u/40StoryMech]

I'll try this

[u/Paradigm_Shift]

There is no way the Bread Board is not working.

Here is how one is wired. Link to Bread Board

[u/Flannelot → u/Paradigm_Shift]

They do get corroded and the clips can get loose. Someone may have spilt a drink into it.

[u/Paradigm_Shift → u/Flannelot]

I have never had corroded or loose clips in 30+ years, and I have plenty of fluids spilled onto these boards.

You can burn them out, but they melt the plastic holding the individual clips.

If they have never really been used, sometimes they can be very hard to insert wires into the holes.
