Sensor Shield for Arduino MEGA V2

The Sensor Shield for Arduino MEGA V2 is a fantastic little hat to put on your Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega 1280 that vastly upgrades the functionality of projects by allowing for more than enough space to fit a whole range of different sensors. It offers enough space for up to 70 Inputs and Outputs, with 16 of those being analogue and 54 of them being digital.

The shield is simple to use, even for Arduino hobbyists who are still learning the ropes, with plug and play capabilities. This is substantially easier than typical methods, as you would usually have to learn how to add circuits to Arduino Boards, which is a very complicated task even for the most experienced of Arduino Makers.

In addition to sensors, this shield can also support various modules like Servo Motors, relays, Buttons, Switches and much more. This ensures that you can use the Sensor Shield for Arduino MEGA V2 for a wide range of different projects, and you can simply move it from project to project if necessary thanks to the plug and play compatibility.

Typical Applications for the Sensor Shield for Arduino MEGA V2:

This Sensor Shield for Arduino MEGA V2 was designed with the prime purpose of adding substantial functionality to Arduino projects, and it allows for an Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega 1280 to connect with up to 70 sensors, comprising of 16 Analogue Input/Outputs and an impressive 54 Digital Input/Outputs. This of course allows Makers to build projects with near endless functionality, which has allowed them to build exiting projects like:

• A lively robot that reacts to sound, light, visual cues and much more to engage with its surroundings – even greeting people as they walk into the room.
• A range of sensors connected to a small garden to monitor the weather, humidity, temperature, soil moisture levels as well as other sensors so that it can react accordingly and keep plants at perfect health.
• A unique Smart Accessory to keep track of the user’s heart rate, footstep count, location, proximity to landmarks, as well as other attributes that could benefit them while exercising or walking the neighbourhood.

With so many different sensors available to Makers in our modern times, the Sensor Shield for Arduino MEGA V2 opens up almost limitless possibilities for building unique and excitingly modern projects.
