We’ll put this one into the “Why didn’t I think of that?” column. The good folks on the RepRap project have made available a very nice looking Arduino Breakout Shield that brings the Arduino’s I/O pins out to screw terminals providing for a semi-permanent way to connect your Arduino board without soldering. As of this writing they still have 41 kits in stock… minus the two that I just bought.
Having spent last weekend being too stubborn to deface my beautiful Arduino board by removing the headers, and opting instead to spend my entire Saturday rigging up a very sad electrical-tape-wiring-harness-thingy, I’m really excited that Make: Magazine stumbled across this.
