Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A prototyping apparatus includes a housing, a microcontroller within the housing, a user interface on an exterior surface of the housing for interaction between a user and the microcontroller, and a first connector, exposed in a first slot in the housing, having a first plurality of pins for accepting a first external component. Via the user interface, the microcontroller presents a first plurality of configuration choices for the first plurality of pins, and accepts user selections from among the first plurality of choices. The prototyping apparatus may further include a second connector exposed in a first slot in the housing, having a second plurality of pins for accepting a second external component, in which case, via the user interface, the microcontroller presents a second plurality of configuration choices for the second plurality of pins, and accepts user selections from among the second plurality of configuration choices.
