Unreliable and Overpriced Shield

This shield constantly disconnects making it impossible to complete projects. The cost of this shield is also unreasonable for the poor performance it provides..

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Unreliable and Overpriced

Terrible Shield for Single Board Computers

Based on my experience this shield doesn't work properly with most single board computers .The only good thing is its price, but the low quality of the product is definitely not worth it..

Pros
  • Affordable
Cons
  • Incompatible with most single board computers

Like this Serial Port Switch

Works fine but doesn't have an extra set of solder pins on one side of the board. I give this board top marks because it has a slide switch that lets you choose between using the USB serial port or communicating with the Xbee. You can send a new program update to the Arduino without conflicts with the serial port. Much easier than plugging and unplugging USB cables or screens.

Pros
  • Single Board Computer
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
