Arduino UNO Shield Builder Stackable Prototyping Perfboard

thingiverse

This library will continue to expand as I develop the need to integrate additional components into my projects. A basic perfboard provides a structural framework to mock up a small circuit atop an Arduino Uno, allowing for vertical stacking to increase interconnect options between components. An optional bottom layer board design is included, depicted in red, to facilitate easier access to soldering on longer header pin leads and routing them out into the perforated area of the upper boards. This space can also serve as a wire management zone or a "rats nest" for hiding wiring handiwork when working with lengthy leads. Once my circuit is complete, I test it, then snap off the top board posts and secure the layers together with cable ties until the epoxy sets, resulting in an integral structure that can be added or removed like any other Arduino shield. The finished module boasts a distinctive "maker" aesthetic. Current board thickness: 2mm. Stacked board separation: 3mm on base and standard, 7.5mm for DIP layout.
