Iteaduino: Using servo breakout pins and a shield at the same time

Other Hardware Hardware Development

Unfortunately, the shield covers all those convenient breakout pins, and the servo's connector is too tall to fit under the shield.

Is there a way around this? Something like spacer contacts for the shield to raise it a bit?

Thanks!

Buy female headers with long pins, cut them to length, and then place them between the Iteaduino and the shield. That would act as a spacer as you describe.

Whoops my URL above is a two-row header instead of a single-row.

I see that Itead sells headers specifically for your problem. Same thing but the proper size.

Ok, thanks! I've actually found the same kit at a retailer that's not abroad.
