Electronics Prototyping Plate Kit Board For Raspberry Pi Coming Soon

An anonymous reader writes "Outside of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, it seems work is being done to support the tiny PC with add-ons. One of the companies set to launch such a product is Adafruit, which has just announced an electronics plate kit for the device. The kit is currently in the prototype stages, but once released Adafruit is hoping to encourage people to use the board to prototype electronic circuits and create some embedded computer projects. It's certainly an idea that will excite those coming to the Raspberry Pi who have experience with Arduino."

You can attach just about anything to the I2C & data busses - ADCs, DACs, controllers ... and cameras. Search for "I2C camera" for examples,

Still at the prototype Stage? by DrogMan · 2012-04-29 04:09 · Score: 4, Informative

They're a bit late then. There are already several kits out there - both breadboard and protoboard with solder holes in them. Get with the times!
Try this: http://shop.ciseco.co.uk/slice-of-pi/
Or this: http://www.skpang.co.uk/catalog/raspberry-pi-cover-with-breadboard-area-red-p-1071.html
etc. I currently have the SKPang one for my Pi.
