TinkerKit Mega Sensor Shield V.2
Overview
The
Mega Sensor Shield v.2
allows you to hook up the TinkerKit
SENSORS
and
ACTUATORS
directly
to the Arduino Mega or Mega 2560 or Mega ADK, without the use of the breadboard.
It has 22 standard TinkeKit 3pin connectors. The 10 labeled
I0
through
I9
are
Analog Inputs.
The ones
labeled
O0
through
O5
are
Analog Outputs
connected to the PWM capable outputs of the Arduino Board
(it is possible to change these to Digital Inputs, in which case they will report either HIGH or LOW, but
nothing in between).
On a Standard Arduino Mega 2560 board the pins are:
Pin 11 on the Arduino Mega is O0 on the shield.
Pin 10 on the Arduino Mega is O1 on the shield.
Pin 9 on the Arduino Mega is O2 on the shield.
Pin 6 on the Arduino Mega is O3 on the shield.
Pin 5 on the Arduino Mega is O4 on the shield.
Pin 3 on the Arduino Mega is O5 on the shield.
The one labeled
IO
(D13,
D12, D8, D7, D4, D2)
are Input / Output pins capable of PWM, digitalRead
and digitalWrite. They correspond to Digital 13, 12, 8, 7, 4, 2.
Module description:
A green LED signals that the shield is correctly powered.
The
4pin TWI socket
allows communication to any device supporting the I2C protocol through the Wire
library on Arduino. 5V and Ground are provided on the socket.
4
4pin SERIAL socket
allows the board to communicate with other devices that support serial
communication. 5V and Ground are provided on the socket for your convenience.
