If you’re looking to make your own shield for the Arduino platform, you’ll definitely need to know where all the pins and holes are located on the Arduino. After doing a quick search, I was unable to find an accurate technical drawing of the new Arduino UNO and Arduino Mega 2560. Using the PCB design files available at the Arduino hardware website, I created a detailed technical drawing of both the Uno and Mega 2560. The drawings are available in vector-based SVG format, but low-resolution PNG files are shown…










Well, I guess that’s one way to dimension a drawing.
Cconsidering that a major interest is locating mounting holes for bolting it to a platform, why not make the hole location dimensions areadable size: say same font as used for connector locations? A lot more people want to fasten the board down than want to make a new shield…
