Custom Shield??

Brand new to the whole Arduino thing. I'm having a great time learning and exploring with it.

I'm building up a custom temperature controller for my BBQ smokers based on somebody elses original idea. Wish I could claim it but to be fair I'm plagarizing some of the hardware. Doing my own software though!

Anyhow, once I get the hardware all figured out, I want to layout a custom shield using PCB123. Does anyone know if the board outline and connector positions are available somewhere. Essentially I need the basic board and then I can layout my stuff in the middle.

Thanks all!

You can find the layout of your arduino board by downloading the eagle files for the board you have from this page. You can get the Eagle Light Edition to read those files from here.

If you don't want to go to the trouble of making a custom designed PCB, especially if it's a one off project, you could build it on a commercial protoshield board like this one:
