Circuits
or
calculations
should
not
be
breadboarded
until
they
are
proven
by
SPICE
simulation.
Even
then
breadboard
and
test
a
prototype
before
committing
to
a
final
circuit.
Unproven
circuits
or
ideas
are
for
mental
stimulation
only.
Note
also
that
mistakes
usually
go
unnoticed
until
I
find
and
fix
them;
therefore
I
recommend
letting
ideas
sit
for
a
while
before
considering
them
complete.
For
this
same
reason
I
try
to
provide
proofs
where
reasonable
or
possible
so
that
the
user
of an idea
can verify it before use.
