The world's first Arduino compatible built-in breadboard with Arduino shields, LEGO® bricks and native USB support.

STEMTera Breadboard is an innovation in breadboard history. It is the first breadboard with an Arduino compatible built-in that works with thousands of shields. With ATmega16U2 exposed, native USB projects can be easily developed using the LUFA framework. The LEGO® compatible bottom cover empowers projects to be built beyond imagination.

STEMTera Breadboard is specifically designed to solve common issues using Arduino with a breadboard especially in the lab or classroom. There were 3 main objectives I wanted to focus on when designing STEMTera Breadboard:

  • Reduce the headache of managing students' messy wires flying around microcontroller board and breadboard during class.
  • Enhance the current design (Arduino UNO) for native USB development without changing or adding extra components.
  • Improve adaptability, mountability and protection, enabling more projects to be built in the lab or classroom.
Programming STEMTera Breadboard

STEMTera Breadboard can be programmed like a regular Arduino UNO using :

  • Atmel® Studio
  • Arduino IDE
  • AVR-GCC
  • AVR-GCC with LUFA
  • Codebender
  • Scratch
  • Or any other programming environment that the original Arduino UNO can be programmed from
