Centipede Shield V2
We've updated the Centipede Shield! It's now much easier to use "standalone" not stacked on top of an Arduino. New mounting holes and an I2C header make it easy to use with any I2C-capable microcontroller. The Centipede Shield V2 is an add-on PCB for standard layout (Duemilanova, Diecimila, Uno) Arduino microcontroller boards. It uses the Wire I2C interface on analog pins 4 and 5 to provide 64 general purpose I/O pins. In version 2, the Centipede Shield board shape was adjusted slightly. It's now a little longer in order to offer four mounting holes as well as a convenient I2C header. This make it far easier to use the Centipede Shield V2 when not mounted to an Arduino; simply use the I2C header and wire to your controller rather than installing the pass-through headers.

A library is provided (right-click and "save as") that makes it easy to access the pins
