Protoshield

While the Arduino can be used alone, it is often paired with a protoshield to assist in rapid prototyping. The protoshield attaches directly to the Arduino and gives a compact environment for soldering and wiring. Essentially, the protoshield allows you to easily change components with the hassle and problems associated with using a breadboard. While there are many different types of protoshields available, the club makes use of ones from Adafruit.

= Design = The protoshield from Adafruit is designed to utilize, power, ground, and signal pins from the Arduino. As seen in the picture, there are two columns down the center of the board. These should be utilized as the universal ground and 5V. In the picture the large black connectors are directly soldered to the various signal pins of the Arduino. While that configuration is an option, it is also possible to use wire instead of the black connectors and solder them where you would like.

= Implementation =
 * Solder in the three pin connectors with the 5V in the center
 * Solder from an input pin (ie Analog 1) to the free connector pin
 * It may be useful to solder underneath the protoshield to keep wires out of the way

= Important Advice =
 * Start with digital 2 (Skip 0 and 1 since these are used by the arduino for TX and RX)
 * Start with digital at one end and analog at the other and work inward
