need a breadboard for ECE200

I got a breadboard for ECE 212 and was hopeing that I would beable to use it for both ($42 at bookstore is a bit much) but it seems I'll need two seperate boards

which? their current top board is $22.99, 18 for a used one seems a bit high

it's $24.60 after tax.

Yeah it's used, but you're not paying for much more except the cardboard packaging when you buy it new...

I'll even throw in a few jumper wires.

Why do you need two separate boards? Looking at the ECE200 site, it looks like you're doing the same HW project I did when I was in 200.

I bought that small radioshack breadboard for ECE200 and found out I needed a bigger one(the one at the bookstore) for ECE212.

If you are taking 200 and 212 at once, I don't see why you couldn't fit them both on one board. I don't remember the 200 project taking up too much room, and after it's on there you just transfer it to the printed circuit board.

You should definitely be able to fit both on one board... especially for the first two ehomework assignments for 212. if you get ahead a bit on the 200 project, then you'll be in the clear for the last ehomework for which you may need extra room, just depends upon your design really. Also... the 200 project really isn't that difficult... if you had to you could just take it out & reconstruct it.

Last semester we had to build an AC to DC power-supply

^ it has been the same for quite a few semesters now, so I would venture to say it's the same this semester
