CHAPTER 12 ■ SOLDERLESS PROTOTYPING
Adjacent groups are independent of each other. A wire in one 5-position group is not connected to a
wire in an adjacent 5-position group (see Figure 12-4).

However, if you want to, you can connect 5-position groups together. Simply push each end of a single
wire into a hole in each group (see Figure 12-5). This wire is now connecting together the two metal strips
underneath. Anything connected to one strip is now also connected to the other.
