larryd: @Jiggy-Ninja That is a great idea. I purchased 10 of these boards to do something similar. You Must corrected this error before you plug it onto an Arduino.[/color][/b] [ProtoShieldPCB.jpg] .

'On that board' they connected 0V to +5V, you need to correct this as shown. Always check for Vcc to GND shorts with ohmmeter.

larryd: Hi Tom. I use this old breadboard for soldering. Not sure where I got the board, just realized it only has one power rail on each side. I just ordered some new machine pin headers. Looks like they now have a bit of a bulb on the pin side. [image] I recently had a problem with these falling out of their sockets too easily. Certainly worse than the square ones.

Sometimes, drilling plastic can be difficult. An: engraving/end mill/spoon/D bit can make this task easy and safe. Chuck your bit in an electric drill or cordless screw driver. At slow speed, advance the bit into the plastic. These bits cut clock wise. (looking from the drill to the hole) The single fluted bit cuts thin shavings as it advances. Since the bits are tapered, you can drill smaller holes than the bit diameter, if you drill partly through the plastic. However, the hole will be tapered. These bits are made of carbide steel, avoid forcing the bit as this may result in the bit breaking. And, these bits are SHARP! Different bit degees available, 10,15,20 and 30°. 1/8" bits are ~$1.00 each. Lots of suppliers on eBay: [image] 10pcs 3.175mm Carbide PCB Engraving Bits CNC Router Tool 10 Degrees 0.1mm...

I have used caarbide drills but find they break too easily even when used in a drill press. The dremel drill press does not seem to be rigid enough and there is a fair amount of runout on my dremel as well. Can you use those by hand ?
