Of course it was my own silly fault for being a cheapskate, however still a timely warning to others out there.

Have a safe day

[The use of solderless breadboards to teach son electronics]

Would anyone know of any basic information, and circuits that I could put together on a breadboard to teach my son electronics as well as myself.

Thanks Circuits

Hello

Whatever you do, don't be tempted to buy a cheap huge breadboard on eBay from China - stick to the good ones, like the Wisher brand that Dick Smith might still sell/used to sell. And congratulations on your attitude towards the young fella, Australia needs more kids with interests like us.
