Cables normally are color coded so you know the right way to plug them in: NOTE: There is also a Sensor Shield for the Arduino MEGA which you can see here: and at the bottom of this page.Įach Port has 3 pins which are connected to (Ground), (Vcc + 5 V) and (Signal).

NOTE: Shown above is Sensor Shield Version 4 which is commonly used.īelow is Sensor Shield Version 5, which is the same except 2 communications ports are provided to use Serial and I2C communications simultaneously. The bottom connector is for the Analog Inputs, and has Gnd - +5V - Signal in the other direction. You will see that this matches the colors on the 3-pin cables. The top connector has 3 colors: Black=Gnd, Red=+5V, White=Signal. It has the 3-pin connectors similar to a Sensor Shield built-in. YourDuinoRobo1: "Built-In Sensor Shield Connectors":Ībove is the YourDuinoRobo1 Arduino-compatible board. On the right is the YourDuinoRoboRED Arduino-compatible board. YourDuinoRoboRED: "Built-In Sensor Shield Connectors":

It simply connects the Arduino pins to many connectors that are ready to use to connect to various devices like Servos and Sensors with simple cables. The Sensor Shield's purpose is make it easy to connect cables and devices to the correct Arduino pins.
