Building Arduino projects can be a truly exciting hobby, which constantly introduces new and unique challenges as you advance your skills into various areas of Electronics. Fortunately, these challenges never have to be overwhelming, since tools like the IO Expansion Shield from DFRobot are available, which make your life as a hobbyist much easier by adding to user convenience, potential functionality or more focus on specific functions that you want for your project.
This IO Expansion Shield is designed for and compatible with many Arduino Boards, with a particular focus on the standard Arduino UNO, and is built to simply plug directly into the top of an Arduino to connect a wide range of sensors, motors and other accessories to the microcontroller board. This enables you to operate numerous components and Electronics Modules from a single Arduino board via the IO Expansion Shield, allowing you to build hundreds of different projects – with some projects that won’t even require any soldering.
In typical Arduino style, this expansion board operates on voltages of 3.3V or 5V, with an onboard switch that changes between “Program” mode and “Run” mode for easy coding. It also offers an extra power lane for servo motors, and is colour-coded to make the entire process as easy as possible. These features make this shield an excellent choice for hobbyists, professionals, beginners and veterans, as everyone will be able to utilise this board for extra functionality, added convenience or simply to learn more about Arduino and the many accessories that Arduino platforms can use.
