Description :

This is the newest version sensor shield V8 based on Sensor Shield V7.

Compare with Sensor Shield V7, the most important improvement is the SPI interface. We know that Arduino Leonardo and Arduino Due are different with Arduino UNO on the SPI port.The only way to access SPI port on Arduino Leonardo and Arduino Due is the 2x3 mail pins in the middle of the board. It may be incontinent for users to access it. Sensor Shield V08 breaks those pins out.

Feature :

1、Compatible with Arduino 1.0 pinout.

2、Compatible with Arduino Duemilanove、UNO、Leonardo、DUE and Arduino Mega.

3、On-board VCC pins could be switched between 5V and 3V3.

4、2.54mm anti-reverse header which is also compatible with universal 2.54mm female headers.

5、Overlapping designing which allows other Arduino shield inserted on the top.

6、On-board Rest button which could reset Arduino (Just like the Reset button on Arduino).
 
 

Look at the PCB view above, the 2 rows of VCC in black box could be changed between 5V and 3.3V by the Vcc Switch on the board.

 

About Sensor Shield Series :

Sensor Shield was designed to help Arduino users to connect various sensor modules easily. It saves much trouble for users to do the wiring, especially when there are so many modules connecting to Arduino.

We can build electronics projects just as easy as piling bricks. Arduino and community have made the programming much easier than ever before. How about some elixir on hardware part? Maybe it is not yet convenient to make complex interfaces, but we can at least start from the most commonly used modules.

By using electronic bricks, you may connect Arduino compatible boards easily with various digital, analog and I2C/Uart interfaces. These breadboard-less firm connection are prepared to extensive modules like poteniometers, sensors, relays, servos...even buttons, just plug and play.

Each terminal module has buckled port with VCC, GND and Output, which has corresponding port on the sensing board, with a plain 2.54mm dual-female cable you may start playing already. Buckled brick cables are like cement for bricks, make the connections easier, secure and more professional looking.

You can easily connect with usual various digital、analog、I2C and Uart interface by using this sensor shield. If you have this sensor shield and corresponding circuit module, you only need to combine arduino and sensors module by using special cables because concrete circuit details achieve by corresponding sensors module, so you only need to consider that how to read data coming from the sensor by program in Arduino.
