I/O Expander Kit
« on: June 15, 2014, 09:23:20 am »
I was looking at the I/O expander kit and, from what I see, there is no way to connect to ground without using up one of the I/O pins. So, I was wondering if using stackable headers on the 5V-DC, ground, and the VCC pin would ruin the shield.

Using a stackable header to bring up the ground and 5v would be just fine - we'll be adding some ground and 5v pins directly to the shield at the next revision - though that might not happen for some time.

Thanks,
