 +====== Using the BreadBoard Adapter for the Analog Discovery =====
  
 +~~TechArticle~~
 +
 +The Breadboard Adapter for Analog Discovery is intended to be used with Digilent's Analog Discovery tool to set up portable circuits to be easily reconnected and demonstrated at any time. This is ideal for a portable manufacturing test or setup for a demonstration or project. This is an alternative to the flywire assembly for Analog Discovery.

 +==== Background ====
 +The BreadBoard Adapter for the Analog Discovery tools enables the creation of a portable manufacturing test or setup for a demonstration or project.
 +
 +==== Demonstration ====
 +The BreadBoard Adapter connects directly to the Analog Discovery tools, providing the same set of signals on a separate header.

 +
 +A simple circuit can be soldered (or not soldered) onto the circuit board or a solderless breadboard can be placed on top of the BreadBoard Adapter. Wires can then be attached to any signal available on the Discovery header, such as the WaveForm generator in the photo below.

 +
 +The BreadBoard Adapter for the Analog Discovery can be plugged directly into the Analog Discovery tool and the WaveForms software started to run the circuit without any further modification.
