We've added the following products from Freetronics to our store:

Arduino Prototyping Shields

These handy prototyping shields are available in two versions:

ProtoShield Basic R3

This prototyping shield comes with Arduino R3 pinout, including a breakout for the ISP/SPI header. It has footprints for a reset button, power LED and a decoupling capacitor.

The board has pinout markings on both sides for extra convenience and clearly marked 5V and GND power rails that run beside the prototype area. There is also as an extra row of pins for access to all Arduino pins.

We sell the ProtoShield Basic R3 bundled with stackable headers and components (LED, resistor, 0.1μF ceramic capacitor and reset button).

ProtoShield Short

This extra short prototyping shield is perfect for use together with an Ethernet shield or other shields that have protruding parts on the left side.

It comes with footprint for a reset button and has clearly marked 5V and GND power rails that run beside the prototype area as well as an extra row of pins for access to all Arduino pins.

We sell the ProtoShield Short bundled with stackable headers and reset button.

USB LiPo charger

Smart charger for 3.7V LiPo cells: just plug in your cell and a USB power source such as a mobile phone charger or computer, and you’re done.

Includes a smart LiPo management chip that regulates the charge rate and detects when the cell is charged. Maximum charge rate current limit can be set using solder jumpers to suit your particular LiPo cell.
