-----

• A Shield is an add-on board that can be stacked on top of a microcontroller.
• Arduino Uno, Mega, DigiSpark all have shields available, as do rPi's.
• Shields add functions and capabilities that aren't otherwise available on the microcontroller itself.
  eg. Ethernet or RS232 or other communication protocols, I/O expansion, LCD readouts,
  or blank "proto boards" where you can build your own add-on circuits.
