As with any circuit, building this on a breadboard will be faster but not as

accurate as soldering your own board. Because this is a resonating chaotic

circuit, solid connections are essential to producing sharp, accurate signals.
Nevertheless, if you are careful you can still make a decent functioning circuit
on a breadboard.
You may notice, however, that the slightest vibration, bump or tweak will wildly
affect the signal output.
There are 3 signals that you will want to measure on the Chua's circuit: X, Y,
and Z. X is the voltage across the capacitor C1, Y is the voltage across the
capacitor C2, and Z is the current through the inductor. Since we are using a
gyrator to simulate the inductor, all we need to do is measure the voltage at
point P [Figure B], since we can determine the state vectors from just that. The
actual current through our simulated inductor can be calculated by:

Z=(VP-Y)/R7
If you did everything right, you should be coming up with some sinusoidal
waveforms like in Figure C when you hook up to your oscilloscope. Plot them
against each other to see some interesting patterns evolve as you adjust the
two potentiometers. This part is more art than science, but if you get the
potentiometers in just the right positions, you will see the double scroll appear.
It's much easier if you have a nice soldered board and good components, but
we will talk about getting the double scroll on the next page.
Below you can see signal X in a series of progressively larger time steps. It is
interesting to see the unsteady patterns emerge and as well as waves within
waves.
