Arduino A Proto Shield

Prototyping! With the Prototyping Shield, you can make your projects rock-solid. It simplifies the design of custom circuits and soldered electronics directly on it. The Arduino Proto Shield allows you to create your own circuits. You can easily solder through-hole (TH) or surface-mount (SMD) ICs in the prototyping area to test them with your Arduino board. The SMD area is designed for integrated circuits with a maximum of 24 pins in SOIC format, while the TH area provides ample space for the necessary components around your project. You can even attach a mini breadboard (not included) to the prototyping area for a solder-free operation. The Proto area also includes two power lines (IOREF and GND), two LED pads, and SPI signal breakout pads for boards that have SPI only on the ICSP header, like the Zero. Key features: - 1.0 Arduino pin layout - 1 ICSP connector footprint - 2 LEDs and resistor area - IOREF and GND power lines - SPI signal pads - 24-pin SMD footprint (50 mils pitch).
