Review on πŸ”Œ JBtek Acrylic Transparent Base Plate & Terminal Optimizer Breadboard for Arduino UNO R3: Enhancing Arduino Projects with Enhanced Connectivity and Versatility by Dewitt Graham

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad, but not perfect.

This is a great little acrylic mount for the Arduino. However, there are a few points worth paying attention to. The plastic and the breadboard are almost the same size. It would make more sense if the plastic was a bit bigger. You need to line up the breadboard perfectly along the edges. In addition, the frames are made of metal. While it looks fine with the Arduino Uno (real version), I found I had trouble using the same racks with my RedBearLab Blend. A pin touched the solder pin and the screw didn't fit. Now they don't claim to be compatible with all Arduinos, but since there are so many Uno clones out there, that should be taken into account. I ended up buying nylon racks. What you get for the money is good protection for an official Uno so I think it was a good investment for my 12 year old's board. The second one I bought for myself was less useful. I would like the product to grow about 1/2 inch and switch to nylon posts.
