Encyclopedia
Jump Wires, commonly used with a breadboard
, are used to transfer electrical signals from on part of the breadboard to the central microcontroller
. Jump wires vary in size and color to distinguish what object they are working with. Sensors, buttons, and other such things all use jump wires to communicate with the microcontroller.
