How to wire a Protoshield, Help?

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

hello,

My below image displays the way I have set up a capacitive sensor using a standard breadboard. With this the white cable represents the touch sensor.

I want to solidify my circuit by transferring it to a Protoshield however, I am not sure how to do this our which shields I would need. I've tried to research online but I can't seem to understand how this wiring would look on a Protoshield, especially with my 10k resistors being situated on the positive strip and in-between the yellow and white cable.

Im new to Arduino and circuitry, so any help would be great.

Edit:
Also, you will need to get male header pins for the proto shield.

I'm still not sure how my breadboard wiring can be transferred to a Protoshield?

What part are you having trouble understanding?

Did you read the PDF?

I did read the pdf and other startup guides.

I don't understand how I can directly copy my breadboard layout over to a Protoshield. The positioning of the wires is one area I am unsure of, as my original breadboard includes a positive strip.

Thankyou, I'll purchase the Protoshield and test it out!

Also buy male header pins.

I am wondering whether the same outcome can be used with this different type of Protoshield, this one is quicker with delivery is it essentially the same thing?

Also is your example guaranteed to work as breadboard circuit only seems to work when the resistor and pin4 is connected to the positive strip.

Looks okay.

You may have to add a wire strip along a row of pads but the idea is exactly the same.

Sorry what exactly do you mean by this?

Hello again,

I finally got round to trying your suggestion however it doesn't seem to work, the touch sensor does not appear to be working correctly

14

You have to solder each 'header pin' to their corresponding shield pad.

oh, thank you!
