That is a pretty insane setup! :)

I have the PAD-234, it is a pretty sweet setup with much of what I need to do a quick breadboard. I always like a lot of proto space so I have several external boards as well. I went with the 234 because it also has a ribbon cable extender for ease of expansion.

I think I am in love.

Big sad face… I wanna see the site…. :-(

You could look at google’s cached page, it takes a “crapstack” time to load though

If your not as creative yourself, one commercial options is the Digilent EEBOARD, which has a nice oscope and function generator for the price imho.

Very sweet.

If it doesn’t already have it, I’d add a switch to each module, allowing it to be disconnected completely from the power supplies. Would be a shame if an accidental surge on a supply wipes out everything, whether it’s actively being used or not.

I build similar modules, but put them on 1/2″ aluminum standoffs with small supermagnets glued to the bottom. A piece of sheet metal is my prototyping area. When I need a module, it snaps securely into place anywhere I want it, and won’t easily slide. Wires can be routed under the elevated modules to reduce clutter at the surface, where you’re going to be doing the most work. Magnets/standoffs can also be attached to breadboards, battery holders, test equipment, etc. Makes for a very neat and flexible prototyping system.

One last suggestion – there’s a spring loaded version of those terminals, where you just push a tab to insert/release a wire. Faster for prototyping. Better for permanent projects that may be subjected to vibration too, since there’s no chance vibration will eventually cause a screw to back out. Only downside is they’re harder to find. Sparkfun has them. If you want a bunch it can be much cheaper to go straight to their supplier, 4UCON, which has almost any connector you can think of. They normally deal in large quantities, but you can buy a limited quantity of each connector as samples. For example, on one order you could get 10x 2-pin spring terminals, 10x 3-pin, 5x 4-pin, and so on. If you need more, just place another sample order. I’ve loaded my parts box with tons of useful connectors that way.

Wow! Certainly almost perfect for Claudio, at the time he recorded the video anyway. As for the rest of hackerdom. Many may employ much of what we shown, other may see it as a waste of valuable bench space. In that regard, this needs some of the features mounted on a vertical back plane, although this build is suited for those who work stand up or sitting on a tall stool at the bench.

And yet, it is still a rat’s nest of wires.

Anytime ive ever prototyped something Ive always got a rats nest for some reason it a builders virus I think. Heck DaVinci probably had a rats nest of ropes and pulleys when he was building something
