<span style="font-weight: bold;">Description:</span> Riding on the waves of the very popular Arduino USB board is this small prototyping shield. Originally spawned with collaboration between the folks at <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com" target="_blank">SFE</a> and <a href="http://itp.nyu.edu/itp/" target="_blank">ITP @ NYU</a>, the ProtoShield mates with the Arduino USB board and gives the user a small soldering area, two general LEDs, access to a BlueSMiRF socket, a general pushbutton switch, and most important of all - the Arduino reset switch is brought to the top level. A <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/tutorial_info.php?tutorials_id=191">ProtoShield quickstart guide</a> is available!<br />
<br />
This comes in kit form and must be soldered together by the end user. Please note - we do not ship assembly instructions, but you can find a big, clean photographed assembly guide <a href="http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/tutorial_info.php?tutorials_id=181">here</a>! There are a few tutorials on assembly listed below. All soldering is through-hole (relatively easy) but always check your component orientation before soldering!<br />
<br />
The kit is pictured with the bread-board option. We highly recommend this breadboard! See the related items below for all the colorful options of breadboards you have.<br />
