Great proto shield

Excellent! I could not be happier with this proto shield. As expected from Adafruit, it is a beautiful, high quality shield. It does not come assembled, which I was both expecting and looking forward to. It arrived promptly, in a bubble envelope. I was somewhat disappointed with the packaging, everything was in loose plastic bags and a few of the pins on some of the headers were bent. No major damage, they bent back easily. But thats a seller issue, not a product issue.It comes with both female stacking headers and normal male headers, I chose to use the stacking headers. Mine came with an extra 8-pin stacking header. As to the normal headers, there were more than enough to get the job done. It comes with a green and a red LED, 2 matching resistors, 2 matching capacitors, and 2 button-switches. These components all need to be soldered to the shield.I am a college student, and not accomplished with a soldering iron. I was looking forward to assembling this myself to brush up on my soldering skills. The instructions, found on the adafruit website (not physically provided), areV clear, complete, and easy to follow. There are multiple pictures and an explanation for each step. I had no problems assembling it, everything lines up with the arduino uno perfectly. I had my iron at 300 degrees Celsius.It does not come with a breadboard, but can accommodate boards of different lengths. In addition to the normal header power and ground, it has ground and 5 V rails running down the top/bottom, center and along the right side of the PCB. One of the button switches connects to the uno reset, and the other is optional. You can connect to it if it suits your application.This suits my needs perfectly and I will purchase again if/when I want another shield.

Worked great

Worked great for building my simple RFID Scanner. Some reviews dinged this product because assembly was required. Isn’t soldering and assembling components part of the electronics hobby? Anyway works great and allows me to snap projects on and off off my arduino. Instructions online were easy to follow

Works as advertised

Excellent for building finished circuits on the Arduino

Very handy board

I found that soldering was straightforward generally, but challenging in some cases. The pad locations for the the LEDs and button are very tight to access. Partly my fault though as I used slightly larger LEDs (I wanted blue). Found that soldering in a single header pin for those components allow easy use once soldered. I'm using it with a mini-breadboard, which fits into the breadboarding space, leaving the surface mount areas and small number of pad available on one end. Sure I'll end up with several of these.

Eh, this is a kit. I suppose I didn't read it requires soldering

Eh. I suppose I didn't read this requires soldering. This is a kit. That said; this is the best photo shield out there.

Great board loads of options this 1st board I chose ...

Great board loads of options this 1st board I chose to put the headers down the middle to provide ample power still room to add items if needed like a logic level shifter, relay or any number of sensors although I'm on the fence with a temp sensor as it may pick up temps from nearby components will defiantly being buying a few more!

Easy to use and great instructions

I bought this shield to use with my Arduino Uno. I needed to connect a relay, RTC, and a ping sensor. I downloaded the instructions, which were excellent and easy to follow. I was able to solder everything to the board with plenty of room to spare. I'm using it to run an automated pump controller for my aquaponics system.

Just buy from Adafruit and bypass this reseller

Genuine Adafruit Kit in original packaging, but....Item was missing the 8 pin stack headers, contacted company and have received nothing but "radio silence". Cannot return since it was partially assembled when omission was discovered.Will de-solder the installed headers and build it as a plain non stack-able unit..very disappointed.
