Summary

Modular base designed to attach one or more mini or half-sized breadboards to a Raspberry Pi 3, Zero, Arduino Uno, Mega, or any combination of these.

Each model has multiple connection points on 3-4 sides of each base plate.

The Pi base has been tested on the 3B+, and also was designed to be able to hold a GPIO reference card if used with the short standoffs in the back.

Created to teach classes with beginner high school and middle school students.

This project will contain the main boards, with future additions containing different types of attachments in their own projects with links here.

Major Update 11/09/18:

Created standoffs as separate parts. These print much stronger now, and can be replaced.
Turned the holders on the breadboard bases into separate parts for the same reason.
Created caps for the Arduino standoffs to help hold board on if yours has larger holes
Updated connector. It is now harder to get in on first use, but has a longer life. This is a part I want to improve further.

Reworked existing models to add more attachments points
Added models for Arduino Mega, Raspberry Pi Zero, and a half-sized breadboard
Removed permanent connecting points on breadboards to allow for more variable use, and prevent having to junk the part if they break
Refined connecting peg to better hold parts together
