Mega Prototyping Shield for Arduino Mega Due

The Mega Prototyping Shield is an expansion board engineered for Arduino Mega and Due platforms, offering a structured workspace directly above the controller. It suits students, hobbyists, and embedded engineers who need to assemble, test, and iterate custom circuits without relying on external breadboards.

Integrated prototyping workspace

A spacious prototyping surface allows direct placement and soldering of resistors, capacitors, sensors, and custom electronics. The shield maintains full access to standard microcontroller header pins, combining reliable electrical routing with stable mechanical stacking.

DIP-compatible component area

A dedicated DIP section provides organised spacing for standard through-hole integrated circuits, logic gates, and analogue components. This layout facilitates rapid circuit experimentation and clean wiring paths without the need for additional breakout boards.

On-board power rails and reset button

Multiple +5V and GND rails distribute steady power across the development area to simplify wiring for sensors and peripheral modules. An integrated top-mounted reset button enables quick system restarts during testing and firmware iteration.

Broad board compatibility

Designed for large-pin-count microcontrollers, the shield fits both Arduino Mega and Due development boards. It is well-suited for robotics projects, automation experiments, STEM classrooms, and hardware research labs.
