A while ago I bought an Arduino proto-shield in kit form from www.nuelectronics.com, but the problem is that it requires soldering to fix it all together but does allow you to do small temporary circuits. However fitting a small breadboard to the proto-shield makes it more useful. Small breadboards are available but the one I bought was too long by about 10 holes. The alternative is to have a breadboard sat next to the Arduino which then can get quite cumbersome, this method makes a small neat solution for small breadboard applications.
- The breadboard was marked for cutting.
- Cut breadboard with a sharp craft knife
- Trim end to make it neat
- I have a couple of push buttons on my proto-shield and the breadboard needed to be trimmed to fit properly
- Stick breadboard down with double sided sticky pads
Its currently wired up with a 16×1 LCD display.
