In the Maker Shed: ProtoShield for Ardweeny

I like using the Ardweeny for Arduino projects; it’s small, it’s easy to pug into a breadboard, and it’s inexpensive so you don’t mind permanently embedding it. But what if you want to make the Ardweeny compatible with shields? That’s where this ProtoShield for Ardweeny, available in the Maker Shed, comes in handy. It allows you use pretty much any Arduino shield with your Ardweeny. All the pins are broken out “Arduino style” for maximum compatibility and it features a large prototyping area to make a neat little development platform.

Features:

  • Let’s you stack standard Arduino headers onto your Ardweeny. That’s right! You can use your Ardweeny with standard shields
  • All pins on the Ardweeny are brought out to easy to access places
  • 2 on-board LEDs and a button.
  • Mount shields above or below – after all, you may want the protoboard on the top
  • Mini breadboard for project work
  • SOIC pad
  • Power rails down the middle of the prototyping area.
  • Note: Ardweeny not included.

I am the Evangelist for the Maker Shed. It seems that there is no limit to my making interests. I'm a tinkerer at heart and have a passion for solving problems and figuring out how things work. When not working for Make I can be found falling off my unicycle, running in adverse weather conditions, skiing down the nearest hill, restoring vintage motorcycles, or working on my car.
