Re: schematic vs breadboard

Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a simple A/D convertor from a schematic on my
breadboard.
Now, I've built something, but I'm not sure that it's wired
correctly...

The following link will show a picture of my breadboard and from the
schematic:

Note that the red wire is the ANALOG IN and the black wire connected to
the scope is the PULSE output.

Would anyone be able to tell me if there's something wrong with the
wiring?

Thanks!

Your chip is in backwards!
Pin 1 should be the pin with the dot next to it.
Also, your 0.1uF capacitor is shorted by the strip in the board.

Haven't really checked for other problems, they were the two obvious
things.

You will save $15 *not* getting the kit with the demo board which can be well spent on few PICS, a couple of 4Mhz crystals for when you need a spot-on clock frequency and a strip of 0.1" header pins and some small bore heatshrink sleeving to make up the cable you will need. ... All pins are brought out to accessable through hole locations so you can add some turned pin socket strips and patch it into any project you are breadboarding, space to put a crystal, or resonator for the clock, space for a 32 KHz crystal for Timer 1 for RTC applications and a surface mount prototyping area with more than enough space to assemble a MAX232 or similar level converter if you want an on-board PC compatible serial interface and two 11 pin + power and ground locations for headers to get signals in and out from the prototyping area. ...
