Proto Shield for Arduino

The UNO Proto Shield prototype expansion board with SYB-170 mini breadboard makes it easy for you to design custom circuits. You can solder parts to the prototyping area to create your project, or use it with a small solderless breadboard to quickly test circuit ideas without having to solder. It’s got extra connections for all of the Arduino I/O pins, and it’s got space to mount through-hole and surface mount integrated circuits. It’s a convenient way to make your custom circuit and Arduino into a single module.

• It has a nice standard 0.1″x0.1″ prototyping grid with big pads
• Comes with Stacking headers and plain headers, choose whichever you want when soldering together
• An IC pattern for adding DIP ICs up to 20 pins
• Power rails down the middle and sides
• A reset button and an extra general use button
• 2 3mm general use LEDs, red and green, as well as 2 matching resistors
• A pass-thru ICSP stacking header so you can stack any kind of shield on top, and/or use an AVR programmer
• A surface-mount chip area for up to 14 SOIC size parts
• Compatible with tiny breadboards
• Every pin is brought out!
• Gold plated pads
• 2 x 0.1uF capacitors on either side for extra power stability
• Comes as a kit of parts so you can choose how you want to configure your shield. However its very easy to assemble even for beginning solderers. More information & instructions are available here.
