One of the benefits of this shield is that it brings each of the standard Arduino I/O pins out to 3-pin headers along with a dedicated Ground and Vcc pin. It also brings the on-board pin-13 ‘L’ LED up to the shield for easy visibility. The shield also has a number of dedicated connectors that are defined for specific purposes as outlined below, but they can also be considered as general purpose connection points.Īn auxiliary power connector allows separate power to be supplied to the power pins associated with the D0-D13 pins which is handy for driving servo motors.Ī remote reset switch is located on the shield for easy access. This shield brings out the standard Arduino I/O pins to headers along with dedicated ground and power pins per I/O to facilitate connecting sensors other devices.
The Sensor Shield V5.0 fits Uno, Mega 2560 and similar form-factor Arduino boards and provides a convenient way to interface to sensors and other peripherals such as servo motors.
