Adafruit Proto Shield for Arduino Unassembled Kit - Stackable (Version R3)

This prototyping shield is the best out there (well, we think so, at least), and now is even better with Version R3 - updated for the most compatibility with just about all the Arduinos!

It works with UNO, Mega, Leonardo, NG, Diecimila, Duemilanove, and compatible Arduinos. Yun's and Arduino Ethernets have a chunky Ethernet jack that gets in the way of stacking, you can use the stacking headers included and it will work, just doesn't sit nice and flat.

Comes as a kit of parts so you can choose how you want to configure your shield. However, it's very easy to assemble even for beginning solderers. More information & instructions are available here.

Arduino and breadboards are not included!
