Following the hugely successful KickStarter campaign, a kit of 'side-components and connectors' to accompany the MonkMakes Protoboard is now available for sale. MonkMakes Protoboard is designed to make the creation of one-off projects and prototypes as simple to make as possible by:

1. Using the same layout as 400 point 'half' solderless breadboard (inspired by Adafruit's Permaproto boards)
2. Adding component footprints on the side of the board for connectors and a relay that don't fit straight onto breadboard. These are unpopulated so just add the parts you need for a particular project.
3. Adding component footprints on the board for a linear voltage regulator to add a power supply (if you need it)
4. Add longer breadboard rows at the bottom of the board for modules that use 2x4 or 2x5 pins such as the ESP01 or NRF24 modules.
5. Solder jumpers to allow supply rails to be connected to power supply (if you want)
