- WA2KWL's Tips for troubleshooting a complicated analog circuit on a solderless breadboard
- Run wires as short and parallel to each other as possible.
- Color-code wires
- Keep component leads far enough apart that they don't short
- Try to avoid going over the top of ICs
- Be aware of adjacent rows' stray capacitance
- Diagnose in stages (!) Either one at a time in sequence, or BinaryChop Debugging

- WA2KWL: AC Adapters
- AC-to-AC Unregulated: Just a transformer; measures higher without load than with.
- AC-to-DC Unregulated: Transformer, bridge rectifier; measures higher without load than with.
- AC-to-DC Regulated: Transformer, rectifier, filter caps, voltage regulator.
- AC-to-DC Switcher: Bridge rectifier, HV filter cap., stepdown transformer, pulse width modulator, switching transistor, rectifier diode; Probably lighter than the transformer version.
