Adafruit Prototyping Pi Plate
he Prototyping Pi Plate by Adafruit is based around the same general principle as Ciseco's
Slice of Pi. he add-on is provided in kit form, and ofers you a prototyping surface along
with easy access to the Pi's GPIO pins (see Figure 13-4). Unlike the Slice of Pi, however, the
Prototyping Pi Plate is a full-coverage board built to the same size as the Pi itself. As a result,
the plate ofers a much larger area to work with than the Slice of Pi, allowing for larger cir-
cuits to be constructed. he Prototyping Plate also features 3.5 mm
screw terminals
for con-
necting the pins, making it easy to use ordinary wire to make strong temporary
connections—although 2.54 mm holes for male or female headers are also provided should
you want to use those instead.
