Prototyping shield for Arduino R3 with stacking headers, buttons and LEDs, solder kit – Adafruit 2077

Key features

• Revision R3, compatible with UNO, Mega, Leonardo, NG, Diecimila, Duemilanove and compatible Arduinos
• Standard 2.54 mm pitch prototyping grid with big gold-plated pads
• Area for DIP ICs up to 20 pins and surface-mount area for SOIC parts up to 14 pins
• Power rails down the middle and sides; 2 × 0.1 µF capacitors for extra power stability
• Reset button and an extra general-purpose button
• 2 × 3 mm LEDs (red and green) with matching resistors
• Pass-through stacking ICSP header: stack other shields on top and/or use an AVR programmer
• Every board pin is brought out; space for a tiny breadboard (not included)
• Works with Arduino Yún and Ethernet using the stacking headers, but does not sit perfectly flat because of the Ethernet jack

Technical specifications

• Compatibility: Arduino R3 (UNO, Mega, Leonardo) and earlier (NG, Diecimila, Duemilanove)
• Grid pitch: 2.54 mm
• DIP area: ICs up to 20 pins
• SMD area: SOIC parts up to 14 pins
• Pads: gold plated
• Dimensions (assembled): 69 × 53 × 13 mm

Typical uses

Building permanent circuits on top of an Arduino: sensor interfaces, small drivers, prototypes to consolidate after the breadboard stage and soldering education projects.
