About The Breadboard Butler

A no nonsense, power and signal caddy workhorse tool for breadboarding low voltage designs. I think that you'll find it to be a great addition to your prototyping workbench. I designed it when (picky old me) couldn't find an existing breadboard module out there that fit my needs. This one does. It's awesome. I suspect you'll dig it too.

The Breadboard Butler features:

  • Dual 1/4" TRS inputs - Keep two different signal sources plugged in simultaneously (guitar & keys? guitar & signal generator? MP3 player & guitar? etc. etc.) and use the toggle switch to select between two (A/B) stereo sources to audition.
  • Stereo 1/4" TRS output - Stereo output if you want, mono if not. Up to you and your breadboard design.
  • "True" signal bypassing - Bypass your breadboard circuit and send the raw input signals directly to the output by toggling the onboard bypass push button or remotely by connecting an optional foot switch to the designated 1/4" foot switch jack.
  • Dedicated scope hookups - Don't just hear it - see it. Two onboard BNC jacks to simultaneously monitor your input and output signals. A slide switch for each BNC connector will toggle that jack between channel 1 or channel 2 - or switch it off entirely (when not using the scope at all).
  • Power, Power, Power - Given a 9V DC power supply (center negative 2.1x5mm barrel), the Breadboard Butler will offer you fast and easy access to -9V, 0V (GND), +3.3V, +5V, +9V, and +18V.
  • Breadboard rail routing - Easily and independently route any combination of power and/or signals to the breadboard rails using the built in rail-patch sockets.
  • Multiple projects in parallel - Swap breadboard projects in and out instead of tying down an 'all-in-one' breadboard tool and limiting yourself to one project at a time. Need to start a new project or scratch out a quick idea but have an ongoing design all wired up? No problem. Leave your breadboard jungle as it is (to return to later) and just disconnect it from the Breadboard Butler, swapping it out for a fresh breadboard.
  • Excessive accessibility - Standard 2.54mm (0.1") female header sockets available in the following quantities:

    -9V (x4) 0V GND (x8)
    +3.3V (x4) +5V (x4)
    +9V (x8) +18V (x4)
    SEND CH1 (x2) RETURN CH1 (x2)
    SEND CH2 (x2) RETURN CH2 (x2)
