Are the sections of pins on either side of the power rails already connected to the analog/digital headers?
How do you use the extended power rails? Do you need to solder hot or ground to the "power"?
Are any of the rows of holes in the center breadboarding area traced together?
is there a drawing for use in my circuit diagram?

Great proto Shield for Uno with some fine features for a very reasonable price!

Vert well designed shield board for Arduino Uno. Passes the 6 pin ICSP header through, has reset button and comes with all hardware including the long Male/Female, as well as shorter Male/Male headers. There are two rows for headers - the outside set is for the board to board (typically M/F), and the inside allows for easy connection to prototype area.The board also has a few other great features often not found on shields - a DIP-20 prototype area with a perfed ground/power strip, an SOIC-14 with through solder points, and an edge perf with alternating larger pins, to allow for soldering of up to a 5 pin screw terminal.They even did an interesting thing with the solder mask - even though there isn't a formal silk screen on the bottom, the solder mask relief has sort of a ghost of the text which is still legible.Footprint of the board follows the Uno outline, so can fit in the same enclosures, and retains three of the four mounting holes (the one by the DC power entry connector had to be omitted to fit the DIP).My only very slight complaint would be that it would have been nice to have the "~" tilde sign by the PWMs, and the TX/RX by D1/0, but since that appears on the Uno, and in any ref, it's a minor thing.

pretty good...

the pad layout was a bit awkward for my needs but i think all the prototype shields are set up this way.overall happy with the result.

Good product. Easy to use

The media could not be loaded. This prototype shield is well made and easy to solder. It has some traces already for +5V and GND and that is very helpful. Also helpful that every hole by the each pin is already connected to their respective pin so you can solder a wire to a pin easily. One problem that I see is that there are holes that land on top or too close to the USB and power connector so you must be careful not to install components there that will short once the shield goes on the Arduino. I also wish they made a larger shield to fit more components but I guess you can work around this by stacking them.The attached image shows the simple shield I made to control the 3 lower auxiliary lights on a Subaru XV.

Works well

These boards work just fine. Remember that you will need to keep your soldering and underwire use very flat as the distance between the Arduino board and this board need to be minimal so that there is good connectivity between both.

Wasn't sure due to some reviews -- But TOTALLY happy with this product.

These are perfect. (SEE NOTE AT END.) I was concerned by some reviews about pins being a problem but that's just not the case. They probably have the same amount of material in the pins but these are microscopically wider and provide a very tight fit. I like this feature so that over time, it's just as tight as, say, a microchip in its socket. Anyway, I just received these and also just reordered another set. Another thing - These have a FULL set of pin positions. Some of these type products say "Arduino Compatible" but they leave out 2 pins on the one end forcing you to use SDA/SCL at A4/A5. These shields do not skimp and you get a full range of pins so that YOU decide how you want to configure. I wasn't crazy about the photo's color but when I actually received these, in normal lighting, they are quite pleasant to the eye as well. Win-win. And price? A terrific bargain considering the thought gone into the breadboard design layout. I think you'll like these. I do.NOTE: I want to add, after working more with these, that what I reviewed is all true. That said, you need to be aware on one possible pitfall - if not a weakness - in the design. The RESET button TRACE that runs from the button down across the board to the actual RESET pin of the stacking header, runs between the rows of soldering pins. Because these soldering pins are very closely spaced, this leaves VERY little room for this trace. If you solder to these particular places on the board (it would be difficult not to need them), then BEWARE that you might solder onto this trace. If you have SKILLZ, this is no problem. But a little ham-fisted, big tip on a hot iron spells trouble (I see it all the time). On the good side (I don't consider this a problem personally), the trace is surface-treated and won't attract solder bridges. Just FYI folks. That's all.

Works well

Exactly what I was looking for. Was great for taking a prototype circuit and making it something more durable. This shield helps by giving more 5v and ground pads.I'm using it with a sparkfun red board. One annoying thing is that the sparkfun red has a power barrell connector that's just a little tall for this shield to fit totally flush on the provided pins. Not a big deal

Good price, decent quality.

Would've been 5/5 stars, but on the shield above the analog pins, the Arduino board provides 2 GNDs. Only 1 of these is connected to the rest of the shield. The other is just floating. When you plug the Arduino in, of course. they're all connected but it can be a bit annoying when probing the board during validation to remember which GND is actually connected.Otherwise, I highly recommend these just watch out for that "gotcha".

Nice prototype shields for Arduino Uno

Easy to use. Build your prototype on this shield and install some pin headers that you can plug into an Arduino Uno board.

Good quality and good value

Taking into account the quality of the boards and the inclusion of connectors it is good value - I bought a second set. The plastic box in which they come is not very green but quite handy to keep all parts together. I've used with the ESP8266 Mode D1 MCU (Uno Footprint), and it is compatible physically so can be used with care.

sehr gute Idee für den Arduino

Eine sehr gute Idee diese Leiterplatte zu herzustellen und mit den Steckverbindern zu versehen. Damit bekommt man eine universelle Erweiterungskarte für den Arduino in die Hand, die kaum was vermissen lässt.

Disappointed, pins not square causing causing bad connections

The circuit board supplied is very high quality but the pass through sockets I was supplied with are very poor quality with very thin metal and not a square section, meaning that in sockets they don't always connect and bend very easily. When you're debugging a design you want to know that the components are reliable. Seen a few batches of these bad sockets now and from the pictures on Amazon didn't think the ones in this kit were the same, the ones I have are. Will be returning for a refund but as I've already soldered one up for testing, doing it out of principal. As I can't rely them, they're unusable,
