The Arduino Prototyping Shield makes it easy for you to design custom circuits for your next Arduino project.

 

You can solder parts to the prototyping area to create your project, or use it with a small solderless breadboard (not included) to quickly test circuit ideas without having to solder. It has extra connections for all of the Arduino I/O pins, and it has space to mount through-hole and surface-mount integrated circuits if you need to as well. It is a convenient way to make your custom circuit and Arduino into a single module. 

 

Hundreds of thousands of Arduino boards are already fuelling people's creativity all over the world, everyday. Join us now, Arduino is you!

 

Summary:

• Requires an Arduino board (not included) 
• Arduino 1.0 pinout 
• Large 0.1" prototyping area 
• Reset button 
• 14-pin SMD footprint (50 mils pitch) 
• 20-pin through-hole footprint (100 mils pitch) 
• SPI header 
• long and easy-to-solder ground / 5 V rails 

 

The 1.0 standard pinout consists of 4 additional pins: 2 of them placed near the AREF pin, that are used for TWI communication, and the other 2 are placed near the RESET pin. The IOREF pin is used to adapt the shield to the board on which it is mounted. The last one is not connected and is reserved for future use.
