Raspberry Pi Breakout Board for Pi Prototyping

There are few things as exciting as real Prototyping when it comes to electronics and the hundreds of different components and modules available to Makers. However, during a prototyping phase, it can be incredibly helpful to have a platform on which you can prototype the circuits that you want to build. And while breadboards are certainly awesome for this, sometimes you need more than what a breadboard can offer, and in these times, you need a reliable proto board like this Raspberry Pi Breakout Board for Pi Prototyping.

These Raspberry Pi Proto Boards are excellent starting points for building your own customised Pi HATs, as they feature the classic 40-Pin GPIO Header so as to plug directly into the top of Raspberry Pi Boards. This allows you to utilise the full 40-Pin header in your prototyped circuits, enabling an incredibly wide range of possibilities with 5V, 3.3V and GND rails, UART, I2C, as well as general purpose pins, all broken out and ready for you to use in your Raspberry Pi projects.

In addition to the relatively standard HAT specifications listed above, this Proto Board is unique in the way that it also offers a few extra onboard tools and features that you can utilise as you need. To start, along the top right of the board, there is a really handy selection of universal transistors, including an NPN, a PNP, an N-MOS, as well as a P-MOS, while on the opposite corner there is a Micro USB power input and a power status LED as well. Furthermore, this board also features a range of useful features strewn about the topside, such as a simple push button and an LED, while the middle section of the board offers a mind-blowing 343 terminals that you can use to build circuits, mount Components or even use to tie the board onto a robot chassis.
