MegaShield Kit for Arduino

The Arduino Mega now has its very own prototyping shield! The MegaShield mates with the Arduino Mega board and gives the user a prototyping area, two general LEDs, and, most important of all, the Arduino Mega reset switch is brought to the top level. The shield also works with our small breadboards if you don't want to solder to the prototyping area.

This comes in kit form and must be soldered together by the end user. Please note- we do not ship assembly instructions! All soldering is through-hole (relatively easy) but always check your component orientation before soldering!
