Arduino Shields

Shields are printed circuit boards that you can place on your Arduino to provide it with extra functionality. These printed circuit boards make it possible to connect the Arduino to the internet and to post on social media. The shields are equipped with protrusion pins, making it possible to place them on top of your Arduino. These pins allow you to place different types of shields on top of each other. There are many types of shields that can give your Arduino more functionality, view our range for the possibilities!

Want to buy shields?

There are so many different types of shields, if you think of a project where you might want to use a shield there is a big chance that a shield already exists. The advantage of shields is that you don't have to connect all the hardware. Prototyping shields don't add a lot of functionality to the Arduino, but they do help in other ways. These shields can do something simple like breaking the Arduino pins to screw terminals in. In general they make wiring to the Arduino easier.

Why buy a shield?

What should you pay attention to when buying a shield?

There are certain shields that use every pin of the Arduino. Other shields only use a part of the pins. When you want to stack shields on top of each other, it is important that they do not use the same pins . Are you in a situation where there is no other option? Then it is possible to program it so that shield 2 only starts its program when shield 1 has finished its program . This way they do not use the same pin at the same time.

Stacking shields

When buying a shield, pay attention to whether it has the right amount of pins for your Arduino. Older versions of the Arduino have fewer headers. Do you want to stack multiple shields on top of each other? Then pay attention to whether there are no large components attached to the shield. This can prevent a shield from being placed on top. Also pay attention when buying a shield whether it is delivered as a kit or as a whole. If it is delivered in a kit, it is intended to be soldered.
