![]() ![]() And to repeat myself: it is utterly confusing, above all for beginners (which I am in the area of building electronic devices, despite having some theoretical background), if changes of physical dimensions only influence PCB view. Physically, that's as easy as it can get, but in breadboard view quite a few tricks have to be used (my favourite workaround currently is using pin headers with 2n-1 pins and only using the oddly numbered pins to fake a 200mil spaced n-pin header). Furthermore, imagine you have an IC with 100mil pin spacing (within a pin row, don't know if others exist) and two signals on a 200mil spaced 2-pin header are to be connected to pins 1 and 3 of the IC. If you have older accessories for the Raspberry Pi that were built for the original 26-Pin configuration, this 40-Pin to 26-Pin GPIO conversion board is going to be a true necessity for you. Plus, my view (and it's nothing more than that) is that changed spacing in breadboard view is particularly useful when designing a stripboard layout for a circuit available as a (printed) schematic. ![]() ![]() The Raspberry Pi is equipped with a row of pin headers. As I understand the philosophy of the Fritzing project, breadboard view is supposed to closely resemble what is built up using real parts, therefore my comment that omitted changes are at least utterly confusing. The assembled ribbon cable consists of two 2 20-pin female socket connectors assembled on a 150mm length of 40-pin Ribbon cable. ![]()
