Cytron screw shield

Hi!

I require your help regarding a problem I’m encountering.
Cytron screw terminal shield for Arduino
Arduino Uno
Arduino ADE
Bought these shields a while ago and just now setting up- the pins do not align to the Arduino pins- for example, the pin labeled on the screw shield for Ground, is labeled VIN on the Arduino. Essentially the whole side with the analog pins is wrong. Help?

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Hey!

Have you bought an official arduino uno? I’ve just checked with mine and with the picture below and everything is aligned.

If you look at the headers, they are in the correct order as the arduino. But if you look at the screw shield (where you would screw the wires in), they should read VIN, GND,GND,5V,3V3 RST, IOREF. But the ones on the Cytron (reading from A0) are GND, 3V3, GND, 5V,GND, 5V,GND,VIN,RST,IOREF. Are these reliably going to the right places on the arduino?

Oh I get it now. Do you have a multimeter on hand? You could check the continuity with it.
I can check it if you want but we don’t have any in stock until January 13

So! I’ve just checked and the pinout is rewired. They are not in the same order but they are properly labeled!
