I guess if you applied that rule, it would have save you money and time. In your situation particularly, that would have been easy and quick to spot. Should be a lesson learned for you! | |

Correct, all pins on both sides are offset by one. The power rail on the prototyping shield was connected to the 5V rail from the Arduino. I've also seen really strange behaviour where I have a boolean that keeps toggling between true and false even though nothing is writing to that variable (it did not do this before I plugged in the shield incorrectly), which makes me think that the something is seriously wrong. Pissed off that I broke my expensive ethernet Uno, but that's a learning curve I guess.
