Title: Double Sided Connector for TinyShield Proto Board
Post by: ndelson on August 30, 2013, 10:15:39 AM
Could you make a Proto Board with a double sided connector?

I have already done 2 projects where I would have liked a double sided connector on a Proto Board specifically so I can attach and LED Shield as the top shield. the LED Shields are so neat, but once you connect a Proto Board you have to hide your LEDs inside the pack where they are much less visible.

Thanks

Nate

I think I read that these are already in the works. I'm looking forward to them.

That would be a fantastic addition. This would allow multiple prototype boards to be used. Put in my vote too!

Bumping it up. I`m stuck with my project because existing boards have conflicts, so I have to do some manual wiring with protoboard, but can`t have the led or digit display on top of the sandwich! That's really inconsistent design...
Please fix that.

You should check out the Proto Terminal Block TinyShield which has a double sided connector, and can be used without the terminal blocks to basically do exactly this, and it's very easy to get access to the signals.

Hi,
It might be a workatound for now.. The downside is its size obviously. But thanks!
