The cache is not hidden at the published coordinates.


To find the container, you have to solve the puzzle first.
Why is this cache called Breadboard?
A Breadboard, or protoboard, is used for mechanical mounting and electrical connections of electronic components.
Unlike a printed cuirced board (PCB), the components are not soldered on the breadboard, but only plugged.
This is particularly advantageous for experimental setups, since the circuit can be altered by simply changing the elements.
These breadboards are often used for training or at schools since the setup can be changed quickly and no soldering skills are required.
In the early days of radio, amateurs nailed bare copper wires or terminal strips to a wooden board
(often literally a cutting board for bread) and soldered electronic components to them.
And that is ultimately the origin of the name "Breadboard".

Good Luck. And happy hunting.
