Hi there!
I just started to create a little Netduino "Shield". I use a standard board (don't know the English term right now):

The holes have a 2.54 spacing. Sadly this wont fit on the digital pins row!
The analog pins are OK because the space between the two connectors has exactly 1 pin width.

Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Hi VanKurt and welcome to the forums! This is not really a bug, but it can be annoying. I recommend to use these pin headers to solve the issue: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9374 The odd spacing is done so it'll be pin-compatible with Arduino-boards and shields.
