Raspberry Pi prototyping kit at Adafruit

An add-on prototyping kit for Raspberry Pi is available from US-based hobbyists website Adafruit. Designed to snap-on to the Pi PCB, the prototyping plate has both breadboard style and perfboard style areas for wiring up DIP chips and sensors. The GPIO/I2C/SPI and power pins are broken out to 0.1in edge stips. At the edges of the prototyping area, the pins are also connected to 3.5mm screw-terminal blocks. "This makes it easy to semi-permanently wire in sensors and LEDs," said Adafruit . Thare is also an SOIC surface mount chip breakout area for devices not in DIP format. "With custom header breakouts that are taller than usual, the proto plate sits above the metal connectors, out of the way and allows for plenty of workspace. We’ll have stackable header kits as well for those who want to put multiple plates on top," said the supplier. Set up by a group of high-flying Camb...
