Hi,
I am new with Arduino and I have a simple question; I bought an LCD shield (see attached picture) and this shield is covering up all the input/output pins of my Arduino One. Of course some of the I/O pins will be used by the LCD shield itself but not all of them I guess? I noticed some holes in the top right corner for example, are they meant to be used for soldering a connector on to be able to use the pins not used by the LCD shield?
Thanks for your help!
I think you just need another I/O or prototyping shield to go between the LCD and the main board. This is what stacking is all about and, clearly, the display will always be on top, hence no sockets. It may be possible to use the solder connections, but I don't know if anybody ever does.
Can't really see clearly on that small image but I guess you can put female headers to give access to all pins.
I only need access to a few pins so I will solder some headers on the LCD shield. Ordered the headers in Thailand via eBay, dirt cheap but it will take some time before they arrive...
