I'm reading several I2C sensors once per minute and recording to an SD card. I'm using an Arduino powered by battery.
Does the
Data Logging shield for Arduino Product ID: 1141
fit on top of the
PowerBoost 500 Shield Product ID: 2078
with Lithium Ion Battery - 3.7V 2000mAh. Product ID: 2011
?
From product photos, looks like the powerboost's battery-to-board J connector sticks up above the headers pins and thus precluding shields above the powerboost. I need the data logger on top so I can use its protoboard.
I know I could use [Shield stacking headers for Arduino Product ID: 85] but was hoping to minimize height of the stack.
Thanks.
Shields fit above PowerBoost #2078?

Re: Shields fit above PowerBoost #2078?
It's not a great solution but you could use https://www.adafruit.com/product/1862 or just remove the connector and solder in https://www.adafruit.com/product/1769 or the wires directly. I don't think the header will increase the thickness much but you know best. The product page shows a board on top and it does not look too much of a hindrance.

I don't think my solder skills are good enough. But I appreciate your observation of photo on product page - I looked at other photos but missed that. So I'll go ahead with order.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Bought them and tested - yes, it does fit.
