The pictures at right show both the breadboard and the CB-68LP once everything has been properly connected. Note especially on the CB-68LP where the wires are - there will be no connections in the first two columns and there is only one connection - the black wire for digital ground - in the fifth column. | The pictures at right show both the breadboard and the CB-68LP once everything has been properly connected.
