README
README.mdBreadShield
BreadShield is a shield that maps Arduino pins to breadboard ties without jumper wires. It inserts into both of them, firmly bridging them together mechanically and electrically.

Why
Many projects start with connecting an Arduino and a breadboard using jumper wires. But jumper wires can easily become too many to manage, forming a mess of spaghetti that is difficult to trace, debug, and swap:
#Introducing BreadShield: The Arduino shield for breadboards
Like you, we have suffered enough. One day we asked, what if all of those messy jumper wires could become one shield? So BreadShield was born. With BreadShield, the messy project above can be simplified into:
BreadShield vs. jumper wires
No more choosing between shields or breadboards
Before, you cannot use shields together with breadboards because the jumper wires occupy sockets for shields. No more! With BreadShield, you can use both, simultaneously:

Questions
How big is the BreadShield PCB?
It measures 72.4 × 185.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the BreadShield use?
5 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the BreadShield KiCad files?
From the forrestbao/BreadShield repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCAD/BreadShield.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the BreadShield design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
