Make your own Arduino Uno, a Raspberry Pi Pico GPIO expansion board and an ESP 8266 expansion board, are three projects I also share in this video. The main project in this video was something I started that was worth moving from a breadboard and onto a protoshield; an IR Remote Controlled Car. When I thought about which shield to use, I knew I wanted something like the official Arduino Uno shield that came without the headers pre soldered, but something like the Elegoo Uno protoshield that had more useful traces. I share which protoshields I chose, the parts I used, the code, layout and schematics. How do you use an Arduino Proto Shield? What can you do with an Arduino prototyping shield? If you are just starting out with Arduino, physical computing or hobby electronics you may be considering purchasing or using a prototyping shield. As I am progressing in my Arduino and electronics education, I am considering the possibility of using a protoboard / protoshield.

I have not posted links because I find that eventually most Amazon links can become out of stock and result in empty links. Electrocookie made great shields here. I am not affiliated with them in any way and this is not a paid promotion. I thought they deserved a link to their Amazon store: The Arduino Uno R3 and Arduino ProtoShield TSX 00083 can be purchased on the official Arduino website.
