I was wondering if you guys have ever considered making a breakout board for the DC barrel jack on your site Part PRT-00119. Or if not is there anyplace to find one?
So it would fit on a breadboard? Would be nice actually. But I guess this kinda beats it:

Because you need a voltage regulator anyway.
Yea, I looked at that before. I wanted a bread board breakout to work on my own power supply for a project, and the layout of the pre-built one just doesn’t cut it.
What I usually do is to solder two short stiff wires to it so I can stick it in the breadboard, but that’s not too sturdy though. So yes, a breakout would be handy. A breakout including the mini SPDT switch would be sweet.
Yea, that would be awesome. In the mean time i think that i am going to take a drill to my protoboard to get the proper hole space. then solder it in place and run wires from there. it might no be pretty but it should work.
