Overview

Arduino sensor shield.jpg

Arduino sensor shield is specifically designed for Arduino board to connect to various types of electronic brick modules. The latest version of shield can support electronic bricks with 3-wire and 4-wire communication, and it is compatible with the mainstream two interfaces of electronic bricks in the market: 2.0mm 4-pin grove interface and 2.54mm 3-pin interface. In addition, the shield is equipped with XBee interface for users to connect it with various external wireless modules which are compatible with XBee module interface. When working together with BTBee Pro, it can be used as a board.
