This prototyping board allows you to design your own Arduino shield. The board features an offset through-hole pattern that provides you with greater flexibility than standard through-hole boards.

The Arduino header pads are R3 compatible, and provided in both the Arduino offset and "corrected" 0.1-inch pitch. This allows you to make your shield compatible with either or both the official and third-party Arduino systems.

This is a bare board only. All connectors, buttons, resistors, capacitors, ICs, etc., must be purchased separately.

Arduino Shield Prototyping Board Resources

• Arduino Prototyping Board Diagram, Top
• Arduino Prototyping Board Diagram, Bottom
• Arduino Prototyping Board Dimensions
• Arduino Prototyping Board Schematic
• Arduino Prototyping Board Assembly Guide (note that you must supply the components shown)
• Arduino Prototyping Board Example Bill of Materials (giving you an idea of what parts you should use for most standard Arduino shield designs)

You also can purchase this board in a kit with components which contains all the parts in the above Bill of Materials except for what is marked in green. The kit also includes a solderless breadboard. Additional kits include various SMT-to-DIP adapters.
