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.

This project detects water leak and records the temperature and humidity reading at the time of leak and sends it to the Adafruit cloud.

By popular demand, we are pleased to announce that it’s now possible to buy the Arduino MKR IoT Carrier. Originally forming a key part of the Arduino Oplá IoT Kit, we’ve responded to our community to make the carrier available on its own, thus enabling you to benefit from having a bunch of sensors, actuators, and a display all featured on the one board — making it quicker and easier to take your IoT projects to the next level. Featuring a large set of built-in sensors and actuators as well as a useful color display, the carrier lets you focus on prototyping your IoT ideas right away by saving on the hassle of wiring and soldering these components. The carrier can become a WiFi, LoRa, NB-IoT or GSM-compatible device by seamlessly connecting to any MKR family board. Building a user interface for these boards is easy with the embedded color OLED screen, five capacitive touch buttons, and the five RGB LEDs. The integrated sensors (temperature, humidity, pressure, RGBC light, gesture and proximity) allow you to map the environment around the carrier, and should you need to capture any other data there are over 100 additional Grove sensors that can easily be connected directly to the carrier. Here’s are quick demo of the carrier's capabilities! (Special shout out to Mirko Pacioni and Filo Connesso for creating this demo.) Capture and store all the data locally on an SD card, or connect your MKR family board to the IoT Cloud for real-time data captured, storage, and visualization.
