Schematic reading question

Post by Klaymator14 »

I have found when reading schematics, there seems to be a "break" in a connection, where another wire runs out of it. Does this mean I need to attach a wire to a wire? Or do I just make another wire running between the two connection points? I know this may be a noob question... but I am a noob lol. Much appreciated if you could enlighten me!

Are you talking about when you have a line, and then an arc going over that line?

That means they don't connect, but they have to cross for notation purposes.

No, like as seen in this diagram by Harshboy,

There is a connection coming off the battery, then there are other connections coming off of this line. Does that mean you must connect a wire to the wire?

Oh. Yeah, it means they're connected together. You can also just solder two wires to the battery.
