Proto Shield Rev3 (Uno Size)
Overview
The ProtoShield makes it easy for you to design custom circuits. You can easily solder TH or SMD ICs on the prototyping area to test them with your Arduino board. The SMD area is designed for a maximum of 24 pins SOIC integrated circuit and the TH area contains a lot of space for the needed components around your project. You can even stick a mini breadboard (not included) on the protoarea for solderless operation. The proto area includes also two power lines (IOREF and GND), two LEDs pads and SPI signals breakout pads for boards with SPI only on the ICSP header like Zero.
Key features:
- 1.0 Arduino Pinout
- 1 ICSP Connector footprint
- 2 LEDs and resistor footprint
- IOREF and GND power lines
- SPI signals pads
- 24 pin SMD footprint (50 mils pitch)

Power
The Proto Shield bring the power from the Arduino standard IOREF and GND pins to the two power bus rows placed between the Through Hole prototyping are, which can be used for powering correctly your project independently on the chosen board (3V3 or 5V).
SPI Connection
On the ICSP connector only 5V and GND are wired to the respective pins on the header. MOSI and MISO are present only on the connector and on the near extra pads.
For more information about the SPI communication see the SPI library.
Physical Characteristics
The maximum length and width of the Proto Shield PCB are 2.7 and 2.1 inches respectively. 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.

Weather forecast for 7 days and current (local) weather data displayer using the Arduino Opla IoT Kit

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Arduino Oplà Kit, the first open programmable IoT platform that allows you to add smart connectivity to the devices around your home or workplace and build custom IoT devices. The Oplà IoT Kit contains all the hardware necessary to create eight connected applications, access to an online platform with assembly instructions, and a 12-month subscription to the Arduino Create Maker Plan. This kit is perfect for beginners with basic DIY experience, while more advanced users can leverage it to customize and hack their smart applications and devices, with full control of their data and processes. Eight out-of-the-box projects to connect your home or workplace The projects included in the Oplà IoT Kit enable users to turn everyday appliances into smart appliances, which can be controlled remotely on a mobile phone: Remote Controlled Lights — Change color, light modes, and switch on/offPersonal Weather Station — Record and monitor local weather conditionsHome Security Alarm — Detect motion and trigger warningsSolar System Tracker — Retrieve data from planets and moons in the solar systemInventory Control — Track goods in and outSmart Garden — Monitor and manage the environment for your plantsThermostat Control — Smart control for heating and cooling systemsThinking About You — Send messages between the kit and the Arduino IoT Cloud Create, connect, control. The Internet of Things has never been so easy! No soldering is required with the Oplà IoT Kit, which is based on a MKR IoT carrier with an OLED color display, on-board environmental sensors, and capacitive touch buttons. The kit also includes a MKR WiFi 1010 board, a circular plastic enclosure and supporting accessories, such as two cables, a motion sensor, a moisture sensor, and a USB cable. To build applications, users can rely on the Oplà online platform. Each project includes goals, an intro to the components,
