I do appreciate that you tried you explain the way to use these shields. But it would have been great to show the viewer how it all actually works by doing a simple case study / example project. Because to be honest, at the end of the video I came out with many more questions about how to actually best use these things. Especially with the Elegoo shield
I am glad you said that. I recently found a new protoshield very similar to the Elegoo and thought of making a video on it and build a more permanent prototype. I hope to get that done shortly. I am overdue for a new video. Thanks for your helpful and useful comment.
I have created a new video that shows an example project...actually 4 example projects. I hope you get a chance to watch it. I was glad you said that and that was a great part of why I made the new video. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/gOo70ULv-yI/v-deo.html
Thanks for the vid. You seem to be the only person that actually explains how these shields can be used rather than the other hundreds of tutorials and vids that just show how to assemble the pins and LEDs and then give no info as to what you might want it for. Also, is it pronounced “ele-goo” or “e-Lego”. I always thought it was the later, with the “o” being the infinity symbol
Thanks for your comment. I was surprised that Arduino never made a video explaining this shield. I looked. I would like it if they did but I guess that's how the maker and hobby electronics world works. Some things you figure out on your own and then share with others what you learned. I think its pronounced "ele-goo".
you could remove the sockets and pin headers and replace them with stacking headers, then the elegoo one would resemble more the other one, with the same free solder holes for accessing the pins, and you could stack other shields.
ElectroCookie has this one for $15. It's a 2 pack! I made a video about ElectroCookie shields for the Uno. They make good shields.

Check out AliExpress for that Uno Proto Shield. I purchased 10 of them fully assembled for just over 10 dollars. Checked today and you can still find deals like 10 for 12 dollars. I have used to make my own midi shields,audio out shields, ATtiny programming shields,trigger shields with 555 ,4071,4020,4040.4060, multi voltmeter tester and various testing boards. You can google arduino shields and make them yourself instead of buying.You can google arduino shields and make what you find in the search results yourself instead of buying. Best kept secret as I have only found 2 videos where people actually show a finished project .I have used both types you showed . I actually prefer the Elegoo because I can transfer from the bread board exactly like I built on the breadboard without having to totally redesign the circuit which I spent time testing on the breadboard. Also the extra 5v and GND are invaluable. There are many work arounds for the female headers.

I need to thank you for this video, I use a protoshield for my project and it's working great thanks to you 😊
That is great to hear! Thank you for commenting.

Very clear well introducing to the argument !
you could remove the sockets and pin headers and replace them with stacking headers, then the elegoo one would resemble more the other one, with the same free solder holes for accessing the pins, and you could stack other shields.
Great vid man, It's making me want to get into arduino
Just what I was looking for spot on chap
Very informative. Thanks for posting.
is there a shield like this with access to the digital pins for the mega 2560 that you know of.

Happy birthday!!!!! :)
Really informative well done mate 👍
I LIKED THE VIDEO BRO , THANKS FOR SHARING THIS
Glad you liked it. Thx.
