Good day everyone!
In this simple tutorial you can learn how to construct a circuit using a breadboard. So why is it so important to use breadboard in constructing a circuit? So simple, if you are not sure of the circuit’s functionality then you can try it on the breadboard. Also to avoid damaging the circuit components and to avoid hassle when the circuit is not functioning or there’s a problem in the circuit itself. In this case, we can directly troubleshoot the problems without de-soldering each components.

To start with, let us know what is a breadboard

An electronics breadboard (as opposed to the type on which sandwiches are made) is actually referring to a solderless breadboard. These are great units for making temporary circuits and prototyping, and they require absolutely no soldering.
Prototyping is the process of testing out an idea by creating a preliminary model from which other forms are developed or copied, and it is one of the most common uses for breadboards. If you aren’t sure how a circuit will react under a given set of parameters, it’s best to build a prototype and test it out.
For those new to electronics and circuits, breadboards are often the best place to start. That is the real beauty of breadboards–they can house both the simplest circuit as well as very complex circuits. As you’ll see later in this tutorial, if your circuit outgrows its current breadboard, others can be be attached to accommodate circuits of all sizes and complexities.
Another common use of breadboards is testing out new parts, such as Integrated circuits (ICs). When you are trying to figure out how a part works and constantly rewiring things, you don’t want to have to solder your connections each time.

Follow these steps in constructing a circuit on a breadboard using FRITZING

Step 1: Know the connections of the breadboard

Step 2: Selection of circuit components

Step 3: Circuit connection (click the hole then connect it to the other hole in which the pin of circuit components were placed)

Make sure you connect each pins correctly to avoid short circuit or else the circuit will not work properly.

So here is a sample circuit for automatic lighting system. You can choose the wire color for color coding in the circuit connection. So after you constructed the circuit in the breadboard, you can now try to test its functionality. So that’s it, you can now design your own circuit using breadboard.
