In a normal breadboard, you dynamically link different rows with physical jumper cables. The linked breadboard allows you to dymamically connect rows using software.
Oh, that's really neat! I was confused by all the microcontroller-esque things being shown, I couldn't tell what was the actual product or not, couldn't find an actual description of its functionality. Needs a README imho.
Is the “Description” section at the top not sufficient?
“Description
Using a bunch of analog crosspoint switches wired together into one bigger switch, Jumperless makes real, fully analog hardware connections between any points on the board or the Arduino Nano header at the top via serial, instead of needing to use jumper wires.”
Admittedly, the HackADay layout is pretty atrocious, and at east on an iPhone, the description is several pages down, after the picture gallery and a bunch of empty white space. Nonetheless, the “description” section is at the very top of the main textual content of the page.
Not much the project creator can do to fix HackADay’s bad layout, sadly.
+1 the mobile layout has you believe you’ve gotten to the end of the page by showing “Related projects” so you don’t scroll further. Description should be below photos or even title.
I couldn’t find it either! I just looked at the photos and came back to HN (having to go way back in my history because the annoying photo viewer floods the back button).
It is similar in principle to Matrix mixer from Erica Synths, they need to make it battery driven in the form of Volca and it would be an awesome thing to connect a couple of Volca Modular, AE Modular synths, Bastl Kastle etc
