| Sep 27, 2017 at 17:52 | comment | added | Transistor | @jalalipop: Downvotes are probably mostly due to Fritzing diagrams. Usually these completely fail to show the schema of the circuit and are regarded here as childish wiring diagrams or "cartoons". In this case they were useful as the circuit was trivial and it was obvious that the OP had failed to translate his correct, if mostly upside-down, schematic clip into correct wiring. See my answer below. | |

| Sep 21, 2017 at 1:51 | comment | added | Criticizing Israel not allowed | @smeeb One rail needs to have the 3.3V power pin and one side of the resistor. The other should have the GND pin and one side of the switch. Refer to the circuit diagram you drew! By the way there is no reason you need to use those rails to connect the 3.3V to the resistor and to the GND to the switch. | |
| Sep 21, 2017 at 1:39 | comment | added | smeeb | Thanks again @immibis (+1) - besides the 3.3V power pin, what else needs to be connected to the top-most rail? And besides the GND pin, what else needs to be connected to the 2nd-from-top rail? | |
| Sep 21, 2017 at 1:05 | comment | added | Criticizing Israel not allowed | @smeeb Yes it is but there's nothing else connected to the top rail, both connections are to the bottom rail (out of the top 2 rails). | |

| Sep 21, 2017 at 0:38 | comment | added | smeeb | Thanks @immibis (+1) but are you sure?? See the pinout here...the top rail on the breadboard is connected to the 3.3V power pin, no? Thanks again! | |
| Sep 21, 2017 at 0:32 | comment | added | Criticizing Israel not allowed | Looks like you connected ground to both "ends" of the circuit. It should be VCC to one part and ground to the other. | |
| Sep 21, 2017 at 0:25 | comment | added | smeeb | Thanks @PeterBennett and Ignacio (+1 for both of you!) - please see my update that includes the Fritzing diagram, have I corrected the wiring with the switch? Everything else look good? Thanks again so much! | |

| Sep 20, 2017 at 14:58 | comment | added | Peter Bennett | It appears that you don't understand how the holes in the breadboard are connected. By the switch, you seem to assume that the connections in the center portion of the board run the length of the board, to get from the switch terminals to the orange jumper, but you also want the connections across the board to connect the orange jumper to the red wire. The wiring around the resistor looks OK. Beware that on some boards, the strips along the edges have a break in the middle. | |
| Sep 20, 2017 at 14:37 | comment | added | Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams | The connections in the middle of a breadboard run in the other direction. To/from the center, not parallel to the sides. | |
