the breadboard so that its three prongs are plugged into

column C and rows 5, 6, and 7. The black square on the
regulator should be facing left towards the center of the breadboard
(reference figure 4 as needed).
Next, use the pair of stripers (see figure 3) to cut a wire approximately 1 ½
inches in length (the stripers also have a cutting section).
Using the pair of wire stripers, take off approximately ¼ of an inch of
insulation off both ends of the newly cut wire. From now on, all wires are to
be striped to this length on both ends when you are prompted to strip a
wire in this manual.
Place one end of the wire in the 5th row of ground and the other end of the
striped wire in port E-6 (Column E and row 6).
Cut another piece of wire 1 ½ inches long, strip both ends of the wire as in
step number 4, and place one end of the wire in row 5 of power and the
other end in port D-7.
The resulting setup should look like the one shown in figure 4. Note that
your wires may be longer (and some of them should be). The wires are
shorter in the figures in order to make viewing the image easier.
