DFRobot Gravity IO Sensor Shield for Arduino Mega & Due

The DFRobot Gravity IO Sensor Shield is an expansion board for Arduino Mega and Due platforms, with a stable 3.3V output and three Xbee slots for wireless communication modules.

The shield is designed to organise connections in electronics projects, reducing the need for tangled cables and helping to avoid incorrect wiring during prototyping. Its headers are compatible with the majority of Arduino shields available, allowing other shields to be used alongside it.

Key Features

• Three dedicated Xbee slots for wireless communication modules
• MicroSD card slot for data logging
• TTL connection pins for four serial ports
• DIP prototyping area for soldering additional components, breakout boards, or circuitry
• Integrated voltage regulator with a 3.3V output
• Reset button for quick microcontroller reboots
• Power switch to select power from the host Arduino Mega board or an external source

Dimensions and Weight

Dimensions are listed as width 3.3, depth 1.5 and height 4.3, with a product weight of 55 g.

Applications

The shield suits Internet of Things (IoT) applications, data-intensive projects, hobbyist workbenches and educational settings, where multiple sensors, displays or other serial devices may be connected.

Choose the DFRobot Gravity IO Sensor Shield when you need an organised expansion board for Arduino Mega or Due projects that require wireless modules, microSD data logging or several serial connections.
