As seen within the 2023 Hackaday Prize, Jumperless is a wide ranging jumper-free breadboard enriched by wonderful RGB LEDs.

The open-source Jumperless utilises a dozen CH446Q ICs on the reverse aspect, every of which accommodates 128 analogue switches in an 8 * 16 matrix association. This implies it may be configured to carry your breadboard circuit with none jumper wires! In fact, there’s a slight trade-off — the switches add resistance however for low-power initiatives it shouldn’t trigger too many points. If this sometimes may trigger you a difficulty, don’t fear, you may also use a great old school jumper wire!

Essentially the most noticeable options are the RGB LEDs which might present plenty of helpful suggestions about your venture and related elements in addition to look lovely. There are a few buffered DACs, 4 12-bit ADCs and 5 digital GPIO pins which will be routed to wherever on the board – in fact with out wires! Additionally on board are 2 INA219 ICs which might measure present and voltage which we predict is a useful and chic addition to be used in your initiatives.

We’ve solely scratched the very tip of the iceberg and there are far more options and far more use instances to look over so it’s undoubtedly value hopping over and looking out on the product web page.  It’s additionally maybe value trying out the initiatives hackaday.io web page and eventually, it’s value mentioning there’s a discussion board over at jumperless.org.

The Jumperless will be provided absolutely assembled with case choices and tremendous funky glittery USB cables! We additionally noticed that there’s a possible for a reduction if you wish to purchase a unit with all of the SMD meeting in place and do the small quantity of through-hole mount soldering your self.
