I want to make my own shield like the Proto-Screwshield (Wingshield) R3 Kit for Arduino PRODUCT ID: 196.
I have one on order but I thought I could make my own in the mean time.
I tried to use stacking headers on a board like the Perma-Proto board.
I have found that the header for pins 8 and up are offset by 1/2 spacing.
Is there a way to use the stacking headers for the pins 8 and up?

Re: Arduino headers offset
You can't use a perma proto board for a shield, because of the spacing issue

Re: Arduino headers offset
Several people have bent the headers to fit but that isn't the best thing to do (but it works in a pinch)
