It will also help in any new searches I am sure, when it comes to Arduino and Shields. I have just spent a couple of frustrating hours installing free Gerber file viewers and downloading everything I can get my hands on that even looks like an Arduino Shield foot print. Richard (tctec) who is doing my board designs, is having similar problems. Question: Why does it appear to be so difficult to find the Arduino Shield foot print, when in must be used in hundreds, if not thousands of Shield designs. A nice B&W PDF file with the complete dimensions in inches is all we need. And I am sure people that etch and drill their own boards would like it too. Maybe I am old, and blind, and silly, (to say nothing about bald, fat, and ugly) but this should be simple. (Short, I forgot about short) Can anybody assist please and point my nose in the direction of a nice PDF file? Cheers Don...Edited by donmck 2011-07-01 https://www.dontronics.com

Well in inches, which he doesn't like, but better than nothing. I always worked in inches, so it works for me. Both in a B&W PDF would still be nice Cheers Don... https://www.dontronics.com
