Breadboard Mk. I

In attempts to have an organized location for building electronics projects, I assembled the following parts into my first attempt at an organized breadboard:



The base is actually a kitchen cutting board (hdpe) purchased on Amazon.com, and the remaining electronics components were ordered via Mouser.com.  The binding posts and Arduino Rev3 were mounted via drill holes in the cutting board (and since the board is plastic, the drilling was a quick process), and the Arduino is mounted on 3/8 inch standoffs to keep it isolated from the board.

1 x 12x18 Cutting Board
7 x 830 point breadboards [510-GS-830]
3 x 60 point bus strips [510-GS-060]
4 x binding posts, red [164-4205]
1 x binding posts, black [164-4201]
1 x nylon handles, 4", black [546-M250-1003]
1 x arduino rev3 [782-A000066]
4 x 3/8 inch standoffs, 4-40 [761-2102-440-N]
4 x 1/4 inch fiber washers [534-3368]
8 x 4-40 steel screws [534-9401]

Where the board is a little on the large size, it was designed to fit into an available desk drawer, so it could be easily put away to clear up desk space when needed.  There should be more than enough prototyping space to support a few projects going on at once, if needed, as well as some room to grow (where the multimeter is currently sitting).
