Adafruit Proto Cape Kit for Beagle Bone Beagle Bone Black
Discontinued
The Adafruit Proto Cape Kit is a prototyping board designed to fit neatly on top of a BeagleBone or BeagleBone Black without obstructing the Ethernet jack. It breaks out both 46-pin headers with individually numbered pads, making it easy to wire up custom circuits to any GPIO, I2C, SPI, or analogue pin.
Key Features
- Full Header Breakout – Both 46-pin BeagleBone headers broken out with individual pin numbering
- Power Rails – Dedicated strips for 5V and 3.3V power access
- SMT Breakout Pads – One SOIC-8 and one SOT-23 footprint for surface-mount ICs
- Prototyping Grid – Double-sided FR4 PCB with plenty of room for through-hole and SMD components
- Compact Fit – Sits on top of the BeagleBone without blocking the Ethernet jack
Compatibility
- BeagleBone (original)
- BeagleBone Black
Ideal For
- Custom circuit prototyping with BeagleBone GPIO
- Adding sensors, drivers, or interface circuits
- Permanent project builds on a tidy cape format
Package Contents
- 1× Proto Cape double-sided FR4 PCB
- 3× Header strips (requires soldering)
Note: BeagleBone is sold separately. Place the headers into your BeagleBone first, then solder the Proto Cape on top — assembly takes about 10 minutes.
