Arduino ScrewShield - Arduino variation

Arduino ScrewShield

The ScrewShield extends all pins of the Arduino out to 3.5mm pitch screw terminals. Both sides of the shield are broken out to the side of the Arduino, to allow access to everything on the main Arduino board. Stacking headers are also included so you can pile more shields on top.
