The Freetronics Protoshield Basic is a cool little prototyping board for the Arduino. It ships as a PCB to which you generally want to add some basic components before use. Freetronics offer a guide as to how to fit the components, but don’t actually provide links to any specific supplier.
So, here are the part numbers for the components I use from element14. The prices below were captured on December 19, 2011 from the Australian element14 website and are in Australian Dollars. The total component cost was 68.80 cents. Cheap!
I haven’t included stackable or non-stackable headers here. I’ve used the Sparkfun Arduino Stackable Header Kit.
| Component | Quantity Required | element14 Part Number | Unit Price (AUD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100nf (0.1f) ceramic capacitor | 2 | 1694101 | $0.139 |
| LED | 1 | 1581123 | $0.077 |
| Resistor | 1 | 9339418 | $0.043 |
| Reset switch | 1 | 1656425 | $0.29 |
