A few weeks ago, I got into the rabbit hole of creating neatly wired breadboards. I got sick of spaghetti wiring and unstable connections when I wired an esp32 based lora node and carried it around the block for reception tests.I thought of using pre-cut jumper kits laying around and planning the wiring ahead of time so I could have neater wiring. I also wanted to share the wiring with fellow hardware hacking enthusiasts in my local hackerspace.First I tried a square-grid paper, then moved to Figma and after not too long I remembered we can create web apps quickly in the age of AI.And that's more or less the story. Here's the repo for the folks interested in: https://github.com/safaorhan/breadboardFeel free to open issues for feature requests :)
