Basics

  • An electronic prototyping system
  • Uses Snap Fasteners and plastic shells for the electronic componets to make somewhat rigid, but easily adjusted final prototypes
    • The modules also sit on an unerlying pegboard
  • It allows for circuits from a simple on/of switch light circuit, to an arduino interfaced complex circuit
