  • Arduino Mega Protoshield Review

    This is a protoshield(short for prototype shield) for an Arduino Mega. They are sold for around 3 Euro and in my opinion it`s worth it compared to the afford it takes to make a shield like this by myself. All the pins, the two leds and the reset button are brought to the top and labelled correctly.  In the middle is a lot of room to solder electronic components onto it. In my case I want to solder a 10 degree of freedom IMU and some headers onto it and use it as a flight controller shield for my quadcopter.

The goal for me was to find out how everything works, how to make the video, how to cut it, upload it and so on. Therefore it`s nothing special, but anyway if you want to see a review about a Matrix Keypad, here you got it:
