Sensor Shield V5.0 Expansion Board UNO

The Sensor Shield V5.0 Expansion Board is designed to simplify the process of connecting various sensors and actuators to Arduino boards, particularly the Arduino Uno R3 and Mega 2560. It provides a convenient interface for attaching modules like sensors, servos, relays, buttons, and potentiometers without the need for complex wiring.

Key Features:

Standardized 3-Pin Headers: Each I/O pin is broken out to a 3-pin header with Signal (S), Voltage (V), and Ground (G), facilitating straightforward connections for modules with matching connectors.
Dedicated Interfaces:
- I2C Interface: Allows easy connection of I2C devices.
- Bluetooth Module Interface: Provides a port for Bluetooth communication modules.
- APC220 Wireless Module Interface: Supports APC220 RF modules for wireless communication.
- Ultrasonic Sensor Interface: Compatible with RB URF v1.1 ultrasonic sensors.
- LCD Interfaces: Includes both serial and parallel interfaces for connecting 128x64 LCDs.
Servo Motor Support: Features up to 32 servo motor connections, making it suitable for robotics projects requiring multiple servos.
External Power Support: Equipped with a 2-position screw terminal for supplying external power, which is particularly useful when driving devices that require more current than the Arduino can provide. A SEL jumper allows selection between internal and external power sources for the VCC pins associated with digital I/O.
Additional Features:
- Reset Button: Provides easy access to reset the Arduino board.
- Power LED Indicator: Indicates the presence of power to the shield.
- Pin 13 LED: Mirrors the Arduino's onboard LED connected to digital pin 13.

Dimensions:

Approximately 57 x 57 x 19mm, aligning with the standard Arduino board size for seamless stacking.

Considerations:

Power Management: When using multiple servos or high-current devices, it's advisable to use an external power source to prevent overloading the Arduino's voltage regulator. Ensure the SEL jumper is configured correctly to select the appropriate power source.
Compatibility: While primarily designed for the Arduino Uno R3 and Mega 2560, the Sensor Shield V5.0 is compatible with other Arduino boards sharing the same form factor.
