Description
This Advanced Edition of the ProtoShield with Breadboard is a substantial improvement from past models like the ProtoShield Kit, and is designed for advanced users who love to prototype but need more space and functionality. It includes a range of minor improvements that allow for a more diverse range of Shields, components and modules to be installed on it, and also has integrated dedicated pins for specific modules like the Nokia 5110 LCD or the standard LCM 1602-based LCD Modules.
Similarly to the previous Basic ProtoShield with Breadboard, this model is capable of plugging directly onto the top of Arduino Boards like the UNO, Mega and Duemilanove, as well as other shields including additional ProtoShields. This allows you to stack up your boards and shields to near-silly heights, with each ProtoShield handling a different part of the entire project.
The board comes with a 170 Tie-Point Breadboard included, which can be stuck onto the top of the ProtoShield. In fact, the layout has actually been designed specifically to accommodate a small breadboard, with the precise amount of space available for it to fit in between all of the pin headers.
Check out these awesome specifications/features:
- It has a nice standard 0.1″x0.1″ prototying grid with big pads
- A 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
- The ICSP header is up top if you like to upload to your Arduino using a programmer
- A surface-mount chip area for up to 14 SOIC size parts
- Compatible with either tiny breadboards or ‘standard’ breadboards with the rails removed.
- Every pin is brought out, including the new 3V and Reset header pins
- 2 0.1uF capacitors on either side for extra power stability
-
1 reset button, 1 general use button, and 2 LED circuits can be used directly.
-
5V, GND, and Raw pins are exposed as well.
-
SOIC place for IC.
-
The mini breadboard has 170 tie points.
-
The breadboard sticks on the prototype shield with its self-adhesive backing.
