I just ordered my kegboard shield, and received it in the mail. I am now wondering what are the necessary parts to get this working with the Arduino I have. I ordered an Arduino shield a while back, that came with various parts, but I am not sure exactly how I am suppose to link up the kegboard shield to the Arduino.

The current parts list for the current kegboard shield can be found here:

You don't need an Arduino shield to use the kegboard shield, however if the Arduino shield you purchased in the past came with stackable pin headers you can use those rather than ordering new ones. The build process is pretty simple, just order up the parts off the parts list and solder them to the board in the appropriate locations (the silkscreens have pretty much everything labeled). Once assembled the shield should simply attach to your Arduino via the pin headers.
