 Send to email | Build: Arduino Proto Shield in General |  By Nerdblog
el 30-Jul-2008 |

The Proto Shield from LadyAda makes creating project for the Arduino a breeze. The Arduino Diecimila comes a lot of female headers for connecting simple sensors, but that’s about it. If you really want to expand your capabilities, the Proto Shield is the answer.
Here are the specs from the LadyAda website:
- Compatible with NG or Diecimila
- Reset button up top
- ICSP header
- Lots of GND and +5V rails
- DIP prototyping area makes it easy to add more chips
- SOIC prototyping area above USB jack for up to 14-pin SOIC chip, narrow medium or wide package.
- Use ‘mini’ or ‘medium’ breadboard
- Two 3mm LED’s with matching resistors
- Extra 6mm button
Note: My configuration
I chose to make the shield with a 1/4 size breadboard. If you want to use it with a 1/2 size breadboard, you need to omit the extra female headers and the (2) ceramic capacitors (steps 4 & 5), since this will obstruct the location of a larger board. You can see several variations of the final shield on the LadyAda website.
You can purchase the ProtoShield in the MakerSHED. If you want to add a 1/4 size solderless breadboard, you can pick one up there too!
What You Get & What You Need
IMG_3624.JPG: Paste this image in your site, Myspace, Facebook, Ebay copy this code...
All the parts to build the shield are in the kit. However, the kit does not come with the mini breadboard that I will be using. You can build the shield several different ways depending on your needs. I like the mini breadboard option, so I picked one up in the Maker SHED. You can omit the breadboard and solder directly on the board, or you can use a 1/2 size breadboard.
Tools you need:
- Soldering Iron
- Solder
- Solder Wick or de-soldering tool (optional)
- Wire cutters
- Fume Extractor - Make you own

| Wave Shield kit for Arduino |  Ladyada’s just churning out the new kits these days; I’m not sure she’s human. The latest:
Adding quality audio to an electronic project is surprisingly difficult. Here is a shield for Arduinos that solves this problem. It can play up to 22KHz, 12bit uncompressed audio files of any length. It’s low cost, available as an easy-to-make [...] [..] Read complete article | | Published 13-May-2008 by Nerdblog in General

| Simple Arduino robot | | OK, this isn’t exactly a complicated robot. I really like the simplicity of the build. It would be very easy to change things around or add sensors, since the breadboard is right there on top and it has a lot of extra room.
