Arduino Protoshield

<p >How do you use an Arduino Proto Shield?  What can you do with an Arduino prototyping shield?  Why would you use a premade prototyping shield?   In this video I will share what I learned about what to look for and how to find it.  Some topics include:  Why I wanted to use a protoshield,  the difference between the Elegoo and Arduino ProtoShield, what to look for in a prototyping shield and more.</p><div class="se-component se-video-container __se__float-none" contenteditable="false" style="width: 100%;"><figure style="width: 100%; height: 56.25%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 0px;"><iframe frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/czGsopX2CKI" data-proportion="true" data-percentage="100%,56.25%" data-size="100%,56.25%" data-align="none" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" data-index="0" data-file-size="0" data-origin="100%,56.25%"></iframe><figcaption contenteditable="true"><div>The Arduino Protoshield and the Elegoo Prototyping Shield</div></figcaption></figure></div><p >If you are just starting out with Arduino, physical computing or hobby electronics you may be considering purchasing or using a prototyping shield.  As I am progressing in my Arduino and electronics education, I am considering the possibility of using a protoboard / protoshield.  There aren't many videos that explain what the official Arduino Proto Shield can do or how to use one.  As I researched this prototyping shield topic, I realized that it may be helpful to explain some finer details that some more advanced tutorials may skip over.  </p><p >I bought an official Arduino Proto Shield, Rev 3, Uno Size (TSX00083) from the official Arduino store.  I also have Elegoo and Keyestudio prototyping shields.  Sparkfun, Adafruit and many other  maker companies sell prototyping shields and each one is designed differently.  In this video I will try and share what I learned about what to look for and how to find it.</p><p >Here is the link to the Official Arduino  Schematic:</p><p ><a href="https://www.arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/ArduinoProtoShield_V4.0-schematic.pdf">https://www.arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/ArduinoProtoShield_V4.0-schematic.pdf</a></p>
