Oliver Teynor Strasbourg/Adelaide Spring 2004

The breadboard (size 100 by 135 mm) used for testing one array of sensors with the socket for the PIC

The test setup with the breadboard below a colour enlarger, and (from right to left) the power supply, three digital voltmeters to take readings, and a notebook to record the results on a spreadsheet (sorry for the queer colours which cropped in when transfering the image between applications)
