AdafruitPrototyping Pi Plate Kit for Raspberry Pi [ADA801]

I bought this for the Pi 2. The Adafruit description says that it will fit on a Pi 2, but you will only have 26 pins. I'm ok with that, but 4 of the screw terminal pins interfere with the corner USB case. 2 others interfere with the ethernet case. You can't trim these pins down enough to get the header to mate solidly with the Pi GPIO header pins, and even if you can get it to mate, you still have dead shorts where the interfering pins hit the USB and Ethernet cases. Electrical tape insulator? Sloppy! Needs a much taller header. I will look for a 26 pin male by female header, or a male by female ribbon cable, to use as a spacer. If I need a ribbon cable, I might as well use a 40 pin cable, go to a half size proto board, buy separate screw terminal blocks and make exactly what I want for any given application. Don't expect any Pi case to work with this board. Nice idea, very badly executed.

Nice accessory for the Pi, assembly required so don't buy if you don't have some basic soldering ability. Needs to be modified to work with the case I had (just changed the insertion depth on the header, made it slightly taller to fit on the top cover) And provides some dead-simple terminals for prototyping and device integration. Lots of neat additions make this a useful addon to the amazing Raspberry Pi.

I didn't until soldering, then discovered that they forgot to include one terminal block. Board is well laid out. The big black connector is probably meant to take stacked shields, so use minimal solder there. Use lots of solder on the terminal blocks for solid connections, and be sure they lay flat on the board.

Nice prototyping board for the Pi. I've had no problems with it, but it does have to be assembled.

This is a great product, but they are charging almost 60% more than buying it direct from Adafruit. They have it for $15.

It probably works well with older PIs but not the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (1GB)

The board seems really good, but I have not assembled it yet. The webstie has clear instructions for how to assemble, so I don't think there willbe any issues. It is a good board for prototyping for a RPi

This is a solder-it-yourself kit. Nothing is assembled. Not for the faint of heart.

Great qualify item, does what it says on the box but with a quality feel. Worth the price.
