I have not had any problems with breadboards since I quit trying to make=20 them neat. Make certain that the wires are long enough to push around=20 for easy access under them. Use only 22 or 24 gauge wire. assemble with=20 hemostats. Stay aware that high inductance & capacitance exists=20 everywhere. Anchor all off board wiring connections.
