    I think you mean “Perfect for projects…” instead of “Prefect for projects…” A prefect is a Roman administrator of sorts, so likely as not we’re not summoning one for our project. Not that that wouldn’t be kinda cool, but…

    This is a very handy for starting projects.  I like to solder female headers by the prop pins and make “shields” for them.  This is a pretty powerful board with 8 cores running at 80 MHz.

The Maker Shed is brought to you by Maker Media, the makers of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Faire, and much more.

Launched originally as a source for back issues of MAKE Magazine, the Maker Shed expanded rapidly to meet the demand for 'projects in a box,' otherwise known as kits. Now we have a little bit of everything for makers, crafters, and budding scientists, from Arduinos to sock monkeys to chemistry sets .
