Use only new, 22 gauge solid copper wire for breadboards.
Strip wire to expose 5/16 inch or 8 mm of copper.
Color code your wiring in some way.
Wires should be routed no more than 1/2 inch (12 mm) above the breadboard.
Avoid sharp bends in the wires.
Run wires around or between chips rather than over them.
Make short wire lengths from source to destination.
Wire from a complete schematic diagram.
