I vote for a modular system. Plug them together to share power. Then have an “Arduino” board, a power board, and LED board, a music board… Make the kit as big as you want it.

I may be dating myself, but the spring prototyping connectors really take me back! I remember wiring up a rudimentary radio from a 40-in-1 RS kit in middle school. Wow, that would have to be like...

At least you’re not carbon dating yourself. I too grew up with one of those and remember doing several little projects that annoyed the heck out of my mother.

From what material are these made? They don’t seem as ductile as copper and still allow the solder to stick to them.

I believe (I don’t have any in front of me) that one can use 0.1" female headers (which SFE sells) as sockets.

Alas, not. I just tried it and they don’t fit.We could look around and see if we can find the receptacles- that’d be a nice tool to carry. I doubt this would be revised for that, anyway.
