Arduino Dance Shield
Arduino Dance Shield is based on fan project:
Instructables project from StarlightLumi
Theoretical polling 1000Hz. Real timing with this device is very close to standard L-TEK controller (~200Hz)
Shield is equipped with extremely important ESD protection and external pull-up resistors to protect microcontroller as well as computer USB port.
This item is dedicated for users with Arduino knowledge only.
Soldering skills are needed.
No guarantee of proper operation

Ordered the fully assembled kit last month. Firstly, by pre-programmed, it means that the arduino is presoldered to the board. It does not have the 1000hz code pre-installed and you’ll have to follow the instructions they linked for compiling and uploading that to the arduino. As for the product itself it’s not too bad. You’ll need to remove the current board from your pad, and solder the wires to the new board in the same locations on the yellow board. If you have a start/select button you’ll need some extra wire as those cables probably won’t reach over the arduino to the locations they need to be. The USB cables are a little short as well, so it would be nice if the kit came with some extra cable if possible. Other than that once the code is uploaded and wires are connected it works pretty well and gets you up to 1000hz. It’s a nice solution although it could do with some extra instructions. It would be nice if pads could come with this installed by default (with the code actually pre installed on the arduino). Does it’s job, please change name to say something like “Pre-assembled, code required” or something like that to avoid confusion!
