breadboard - Carrying your circuits in a bag without bending/messing up parts?



In my circuits lab classes, I might sometimes be working on two breadboards at once. I'll stick a breadboard or two in a plastic bag inside of a messenger bag to carry with me.


Short leg components will often fall out because they weren't really deep in the breadboard to begin with. One time we were given some very short leg potentiometers in our kit for a lab and this happened.


Long legs can also be problematic for obvious reasons when a breadboard is put in a bag. Also one time we were only given one certain inductor to be used for several labs- I was very hesitant to snip the legs.


What are your tips for carrying around a bunch of breadboards in bags and keep the elements in place? One idea I had was taping the potentially loose components but that is a bit of a hassle and when you remove the tape you could accidentally dislodge some elements


"well just hold the circuits upright" Sometimes it rains, sometimes you need to ride your bicycle. So say sometimes you need to put the breadboards in a bag sideways. Know anyone who might have some tips?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
