Introducing Proteus – a new prototyping board.

While Proteus does have MORPHBUS, EXP1 and EXP2 headers so that you can add it to a Morpheus system, it is entirely usable on its own, or in conjunction with any other 4″x3.05″ Parallax mounting pattern prototyping board – for example ProtoBoard, ProtoBoard USB, SX, Stamp and other boards.

Look at the JPEG image below to see the top of the board.

Special features:

– MORPHBUS connector
– EXP1 & EXP2 connectors (labels are reversed, sorry)
– Unique layout to optimize 0.3″ and 0.6″ dip spacing
– Interleaved Vcc/Gnd bus (the zig-zag pads that are connected on top are Vcc, the ones on the bottom are GND)
– single row header support on the bottom of the board
– easy to configure for servo headers
– easy to mount 2×5 (or 2xN) headers
– area for voltage regulation above MORPHBUS header

Cost:

Bare PCB only: $12.95 USD (plus s/h)
PCB with two 1×10 female stacking headers and one 2×20 stacking header: $17.95 (plus s/h)

Available: NOW
