You can solder parts to the prototyping area to create your project,or use it with a small solderless breadboard (not included) to quickly test circuit ideas without having to solder. It's got extra connections for all of the Arduino MEGA I\/O pins, and it's got space to mount through-hole and surface mount integrated circuits. It's a convenient way to make your custom Arduino circuit into a single module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGetting Started\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can find in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.arduino.cc\/en\/Guide\/HomePage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eGetting Started section\u003c\/a\u003e all the information you need to configure your board, use the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.arduino.cc\/en\/Main\/Software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eArduino Software (IDE)\u003c\/a\u003e, and start tinker with coding and electronics..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNeed Help?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Software \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/forum.arduino.cc\/index.php?board=63.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eon the Arduino Forum\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn Projects \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/forum.arduino.cc\/index.php?board=3.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eon the Arduino Forum\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Product itself through \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.arduino.cc\/index.php?main_page=contact_us\u0026amp;language=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eArduino Customer Support\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePCB Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e101.5 x 53.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.013 Kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOSH: Schematics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Arduino Mega Proto Shield is open-source hardware!

Three screw holes allow the shield to be attached to a surface or case. Note that the distance between digital pins 7 and 8 is 160 mil (0.16\"), not an even multiple of the 100 mil spacing of the other pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSPI Connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the ICSP connector only 5V, GND and RST are wired to the respective pins on the header.
