Workbench essentials
Sort prototyping boards, jumper leads, LEDs, controller boards, drivers, sensors, RTC modules and storage breakouts by job before treating them as substitutes.
Can I swap these?
Pick the board you have - we'll show what we know about swapping it.
Known swap options (1)
General board checks (5)
- Name the job first: building a circuit, adding an indicator, driving addressable RGB, measuring temperature, controlling a motor, switching a load, keeping time or adding storage.
- Match the required interface: solder pads, header gender, analog voltage, single-wire RGB data, SPI, USB, GPIO or motor coil outputs.
- Check voltage, current, heat, connector pitch, breadboard fit, required resistors, firmware library and whether the board needs a separate controller.
- Do not swap a passive part for an active module, or a module for a bare component, just because the package looks similar.
- Use the linked product page or guide for final pinout, ratings and library details before buying.
