What is it?

The LOBShield is an arduino Shield with 35 buttons that you can read with just one analog pin!

How do I build it?

The shield has only 3 main component types making it easy to work out what goes where.

You will need a soldering iron and some solder, optionally a set of "3rd hands" to hold your work to help you.

Full photo build instructions are included with the kit to help you build it fast and can be found here: http://www.electriclaboratory.com/build/LOBShield/

What can I use it for?

Whenever you need lots of buttons!

It works well on the top of a stack of arduino shields, such as on top of an adafruit wave shield. You can use it to trigger 35 different sound files!

The only limit is your imagination, when you need buttons, you need a LOBShield.

A example arduino sketch to read the buttons can be found here: https://github.com/ElectricLaboratory/LOBShield-Sketch/blob/master/LOBShield.ino
