Quick prototyping breakout board for Arduino Pro Mini with interface for NRF24L01+ and RFM69H wireless modules and breadboards and/or I²C connectors
This board is inspired by the Arduino "Nano IO Shields" available for cheap at aliexpress (search for "arduino nano nrf24l01 board", e.g. here), which provide breakout pins, a connector for an NRF24L01+ module and an XBee module. As I don't have any use for the XBee socket, I simply broke off the header pins and instead taped a tiny 5x11 pin breadboard to the board.
These boards are perfect for quick prototyping for the MySensors project for several reasons:
The only drawback is that I use Pro Minis for most of my projects, so prototyping with a Nano means you are never testing the actual board in the prototype.
