The MegaShield mates with an Arduino Mega board and gives you a prototyping area and two general LEDs. Also, the Arduino Mega reset switch is brought to the top level. The shield also works with two
mini solderless breadboards
if you don't want to solder to the prototyping area.
Note:
This comes in kit form and must be soldered together by the end user. All soldering is through-hole (relatively easy), but always check your component orientation before soldering. Most importantly, however,
the kit only comes with 8-pin stackable headers
. To complete the build with the parts provided, careful cutting of some of the stackable headers will be required. You can avoid having to cut connectors if you add a
6-pin
and two
10-pin
headers to your order.
