Design your own shields and create "permanent prototypes" for use with microcontrollers.

If you've ever done any breadboarding, you know that it's great for sketching out an electronics idea, but terrible at storing a more permanent prototype. In the same way, fixing mistakes on soldered protoboard can be frustrating and messy. 

With the MakerShield you can transfer your working prototype to a shield that snaps into an Arduino just like a pre-built shield. The MakerShield makes it easy to build your own permanent prototypes as shields!

The MakerShield includes several on-board components (LEDs, potentiometers, tactile switches) that can be connected to the Arduino's inputs and outputs. A generous 19 x 13 through-hole prototyping area comprises the rest of the board.

 More Details:

  • Components include a potentiometer, button, and (2) LEDs
  • Support for 3.3V & 5V circuits
  • ICSP (In Circuit Serial Programming) header in the same location as the Arduino
  • Power filtering capacitors on 5V and 3.3V lines
  • Build Instructions Here 

    •  

    Advanced users might want to stack another shield on top of the MakerShield. This isn't a problem since the MakerShield kit provides stackable header pins. Some other development boards, such as Netduino, require 3.3V analog signals instead of the Arduino's 5V. The MakerShield provides a jumper that allows you to select between either 5V or 3.3V signals on the potentiometer.

     Please note: Assembly required (soldering). Does not include a microcontroller.
