Even though I do have an Adafruit Proto Shield , which works well and I've had no problems what-so-ever with it, I decided to pick up one of the MakerShield Kits for a number of reasons. Yes, It has a Potentiometer on the board ... but that wasn't the primary reason. The Shield Headers allow you to attach shields ON TOP ... BIG reason #1  The ICSP Headers are in the correct place for Arduino Shields ... BIG reason #2 So, why is this important if you are going to use it as a Prototyping shield, you want it to be the one on top, so you can access everything... right?   Well... yes, typically.  But here are the benefits to me... I have a pcDuino with a T Board to bridge 5V Arduino shields (the pcDuino only wants 3.3V shields used, the T Board allows 5V shields without damaging the pcDuino).  It has ICSP headers, but they aren't in the standard location for Arduino shields.  The MakerShield fixes that, I can attach this to the T Board and then attach a s...

NOTE:  See the revisited post here for additional information and updates. I received a Netduino Plus 2 as a gift a little while back. I have completed converting the 1Sheeld Arduino Libraries and Sample Sketches to C# so they can be used with my Netduinos (I now own a Netduino 3 Wifi as-well). Please note: the projects / source were created with Visual Studio 2013 Professional, but are being maintained with Visual Studio 2015 Professional ( Note: the free version of Visual Studio 2015 Community works fine and will load the solution, compile and run the samples without any problems).  The projects / source also expects a recent firmware on the Netduinos with the latest.NET Micro Framework, the VS 2015 Project System, and the latest Netduino SDK. Recommendation:  Since there are multiple projects that you can deploy in the OneSheeld solution, rather than setting a sample as a Startup Project, I highly recommend that you right-click on one of the sample solution...

As previously mentioned, the SolidDigi Color Image Shield is very similar to the (now retired) SparkFun Color LCD Shield, but does have some differences. I had converted some of the code found around the internet that was available for the SparkFun shield so it would work on the SolidDigi shield. Now, I've decided to take a lot of that same code and make it work on the pcDuino. So, if you have a pcDuino, this shield will now have some sample code that works on the pcDuino. Below is a list of what has (and has not been converted) of those mentioned in a previous post: The Color LCD Shield Library - converted and working. The Arduino-O-scope - converted and working, The SparkFun Sample - not converted (although I did move over the Mandelbrot and RGB Image code to the SolidDigi Sample (just run the SOLID application and press the 1st and 3rd buttons simultaneously to see the demo(s) work). The SolidDigi Sample (with color tweaks) - converted and working. You can find ...
