Abstract
The present invention relates generally to electric circuit testing, building, or implementing using a breadboard-style printed circuit board (PCB). Aspects of the present invention include eliminating the need to use hookup wires when building and testing electric circuits on PCBs. In one or more embodiments, a PCB system having rows and columns of signal tie points connected in a breadboard layout and using an embedded wire and a solder bridge to form partial connections between signal tie points may be built. In one or more embodiments, an embedded wire and solder bridge is capable of connecting a column of signal tie points, and/or an embedded wire and solder bridge is capable of connecting a power rail to a signal tie point. Thus, a circuit may be implemented and tested by applying a small amount of solder to the solder bridge without the need for hookup wire.
