Arduino ProtoShield Kit for Duemilanove USB Board

Riding on the waves of the very popular Arduino USB board is this small prototyping shield. Originally spawned with collaboration between the folks at SFE and ITP @ NYU, 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.

This comes in kit form and must be soldered together by the end user. Please note - we do not ship assembly instructions! There are a few tutorials on assembly listed on the resources page. All soldering is through-hole (relatively easy) but always check your component orientation before soldering!

The kit is pictured below with a bread-board on top. We highly recommend this breadboard! The bread board can be purchased separately as a related item shown below.
