Overview
The Arduino UNO Sensor Shield V5.0 Expansion Board simplifies connecting sensors, servos and modules to the Arduino UNO and compatible UNO R3 boards. By bringing all Arduino I/O pins to clearly labeled 3-pin connectors (VCC, GND, Signal) and adding dedicated communication interfaces, this shield speeds up prototyping and reduces wiring mistakes.
Key Features
- Full breakout of Arduino digital and analog pins to 3-pin sensor headers.
- Dedicated I2C, UART and SPI connectors for easy communication with modules.
- Direct servo support: plug servos directly into labelled headers (signal, VCC, GND).
- Stackable shield design lets you layer shields for compact builds.
- Clearly labeled pin headers to prevent wiring errors.
- Ideal for robotics, automation, sensor arrays and classroom projects.
Compatibility
Designed specifically for the Arduino UNO and UNO R3 form factor. Compatible with most Arduino clones that follow UNO R3 pinout standards.
Communication Interfaces
- I2C connectors for shared-bus sensors and expansion modules.
- UART headers for serial devices like Bluetooth and GPS modules.
- SPI breakout for high-speed peripherals and displays.
Servo & Power Handling
Standard 3-pin servo connectors make it easy to attach hobby servos without extra wiring. Use external power for multiple or high-current servos to avoid overloading the Arduino’s regulator. Headers are clearly labeled to avoid polarity mistakes.
Applications
- Robotics and automation projects requiring multiple sensors and actuators.
- Sensor integration and data acquisition experiments.
- Educational electronics labs and rapid prototyping with Arduino UNO.
- Multi-sensor and multi-servo robotics platforms.
Technical Details & Pinout Summary
- Form factor: Arduino UNO / UNO R3 compatible shield.
- Connectors: 3-pin VCC/GND/Signal headers for each I/O pin.
- Interfaces: I2C, UART, SPI dedicated headers.
- Stackable design for adding shields above or below.
Quick Start Guide
- Mount the shield onto an Arduino UNO or UNO R3 board firmly.
- Connect sensors or modules to 3-pin headers matching signal, VCC and GND.
- For I2C devices, use the dedicated I2C header; for serial modules use UART.
- If using multiple servos, supply an external power source and share common ground.
- Upload your Arduino sketch and test each sensor or actuator individually before integrating.
