It has headers fitted, looks like all 0.1 based spacing.
Make shield to plug into it that you can solder too.

Bought this for my Raspberry Pi 5...

Finally got myself a Uno R4 too...
Not quite sure what permanent project that will be useful in, but seems like a nice idea.

Got a new laptop. This is what it feels like.

From a Ford Taunus (i3 / 2nd gen desktop with 8GB RAM and Win10/Ubuntu)

via a Deux Chevaux (Core 2 Duo with 1GB RAM and Antix Linux 32 bit)

to a Porsche 911 (i3 12th gen with 16 GB RAM and Win11)

I did not know what I missed.

Asus VivoBook

Currently only running Win11; Linux will follow later.
