User Support

Decide which electronics you intend to use BEFORE you assemble and glue up the Click/Slide assemblies. For example: If you never use anything but Arduino, don’t glue up the Feather/Particle and Raspberry Pi components.  That lets you use the 2×3 and 1×3 Clicks to mount other components.

    Bruce Schreiner –

    Found this system to give me flexibility for mounting and connecting Arduino and compatible boards such as the Adafruit Featherwing, ESP32, and many other boards during prototyping so that I can wire projects in process and move them between home, work, and makerspace without worrying about disconnecting anything accidentally. The clicks are flexible and inexpensive and mount standard boards but also allow for gluing or mounting things like din rail and Wago connectors to increase connectivity. Well made and delivered when processed. They makers are very responsive to requests.

    I have not found any other platforms that allow the flexibility at reasonable costs and also provide protection during travel without needing to disconnect things.

    Matthew Greer –

    I have been enjoying using this system for several months now. It is a great way to manage projects with interconnects between modules like Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, breadboards and displays. Without a system like this, my projects tend to grow unwieldy with a ton of wires on my workbench.

    The base and cover are well built and the click system works well with the base. I have added simple 3D printed modules on slides for BNC connectors and banana jacks to keep power and signal interfaces tidy and reliable. It is easy to mount these on slides or directly on clicks.

    This is an innovative product for makers, students, experimenters and others — well done!
