I want to make this netduino mini shield/ development board. So I am wondering if there is an interest for such a shield. Here it is: What is does: Adds female headers on the side to allow use of male-male breadboard wires. Adds 3.3V and another Ground. It has two on one PCB (For easy switching between projects, or if you have two minis, or you can cut to use separately) (look at pictures) If I can fit it on, I'll add a regular usb connection so you can program it like a regular netduino. I am not sure how that would work yet, I'm just exploring options here. Feel free to make suggestions. I won't make this shield expensive at all, I haven't ran any numbers but I would make as cheap as I can. Please vote and tell me what you think!

I think it is a great idea! You can have it small on one project, and then bigger if you need to on another! -Cwbh

Oz, that is a cute board.
However, I voted no because one of the benefits of the Mini is that you can directly plug it into a breadboard. Adding a 3.3V power is trivial to wire up on that same breadboard.
If/when I want a more permanent board, I would design my own board specifically for that project to achieve the smallest possible footprint -- which is the advantage of the Mini.
