Jumperless Shell

An interactive shell for the Jumperless Breadboard.

Commands

1. Connecting two rails:

5V-12

2. Connecting a series:

1-2-3-4-5

3. Remove a rail from a net

-20

Remove rail 20.

4. Chain multiple commands with commas:

VCC-1, GND-8, -20, 20-40

Here we're saying: connect VCC to rail 1, connect GND to rail 8, disconnect rail 20 (from its current net), and reconnect it to rail 40.

5. Series expansion:

Let's say you have some sensor with 6 pins in a row, and each pin needs to go somewhere (except pin 5). You place the sensor's pin 1 on rail 10.

10++(GND, VCC, 33, 35, x, D10)

Will create the following connections: 10-GND, 11-VCC, 12-33, 13-35, and 15-D10. x skips the rail.

Other features

The shell supports saving and loading nets to/from file with the save and load commands.

Entering flash will put the attached Arduino Nano into "flash mode" which lets you upload sketches/firmware from other apps.

Usage

Just run python jumperless.py

Tested on Windows running Python 3.12 with 1.1.1.7 firmware.
