Header pin solderless splitter / duplicator

[samppa]

Is there an easy way to split the Arduino header pin to two or more? Many times there is not enough pins for GND and power or place for the pull-up resistor. It would be great to have a simple pin rail that would be internally interconnected with female or male pins for the dupont cables, pull-up resistors etc..

I tried to google in vain, so I wonder if there is such a thing existing?

Breadboard??

I'm a massive fan of these.

• has header and power regulator for NRF24 radio.
• has +5v and GND and Signal for each I/O - so you can use pullup/downs for each input as needed.

You could take a header strip (male sockets as found on an Arduino, or female pins) and solder a wire to bridge the solder end. Cover the exposed soldered pins with RTV, hot glue, or liquid electrical tape.

@Zeph
I was hoping to avoid DIY and find some ready made piece for splitting the header pin..

Thanks for the idea, but don't you think it is a bit funny to get a nano and add shield that triples the size?
I would like the sensors to be as small as possible. I bought some screwshields but even that doubles the size..

I've looked around for these as well, but couldn't find any and just made my own. Perhaps it's a product opportunity?

@soward
Go ahead design those, sell to all arduino dealers and mass produce them.
(Notice the order; first sell then produce)
