How to secure prototype shield?

Post by integral »

Hello,
I am going through tutorial #3 and I am wondering how is the prototype shield secured onto the Arduino Board?

For example:

Mine keeps slipping off.

No, not the breadboard. The breadboard can be connected to the prototype shield by removing the sticker cover under the breadboard.

This is what I am calling the prototype shield:

I want to know how it is connected to the Arduino as illustrated here:

or
http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_ ... ucts_id=51

so that it does not fall off?

There are header strips in the kit which solder to the bottom of the board. These plug into the Arduino headers.
