ProtoShield and Gnd Bus

Definitely a newbie question, so apologies. I have a circuit set up as the image shows. My question is—do i need to solder a trace to connect all of the GND connections in order to form a bus? Or is this already taken care of as part of the PCB (i.e., I can just solder another wire to the GND terminal on the shield)?

Thanks!

The schematic says they’re all connected together and also to the Arduino ground pin at the “power” header.

But why don’t you check with a ohmmeter and verify this. Shirley ( :smiley: ) you have an ohmmeter ?
