spdt switch
Gyro:
One solution is to mount your breadboard on a base board and fit a vertical panel for mounting switches, terminals etc.
DIP switches have the same footprint as DIP ICs and have gold plated contacts, two (possible) problems though...
1. The pins might be a bit too thin to make a reliable connection with the breadboard contacts and
2. Because they are so small, you need a pointer to switch them.
Fitting a base and front panel is the better longer term solution.

I have a 3rd wire going from switch to the negative of the buzzer.

I don't see how your 555 timer ever works.
It should be something like:

I was referring to the photo cited in #5, but I confused the shadows of the terminals for the other set of terminals if it were a DPDT switch. How sloppy of me. :palm:
In any case, the circuit cited in #13 clearly shows only a SPDT switch.

Ok. I would like to get a switch that I can use on my breadboard.
I was told to find one with gold contacts, but could not find any.
Only larger switches with gold contacts.

The one I posted earlier for soldering

Or this one for a solderless breadboard

The circuit in post #13 is invalid.
Please post your pictures into the forum as an attachment. Do not use DropBox.
I have seen many pictures go away because they were linked to other services.

I fixed the picture in post #13.
