DESCRIPTION
This shield is specially designed to expand Arduino Nano's IO, simplifying the connection or wiring needed to interface with an external sensor or actuator. The IO (Input Output) pins of Arduino Nano are expanded out into a 3-way header pin with SVG (Signal, Voltage, Ground) configuration, similar to the RC servo and RC receiver. And many sensors and actuators come in this form of wiring.
Besides the SVG header pins, this shield also provides ready pins for UART and I2C (4-way header pin). With additional GND (Ground) and V(5V) on every IO expanded header, you will not need to worry about finding ground and power for RC servo and sensors.
With this IO expansion shield, you can also power the Arduino Nano via a power adapter. There is a DC Barrel jack on the board to insert a standard 2.1mm DC jack. Built-in reserve polarity protection diode and capacitor to smoothen the ripple from the adapter. Additionally, it also comes with an independent 3.3V voltage regulator that will be able to provide an extra current (Max 500mA) to complement the 3.3V output from Arduino Nano (50mA only from FT232 IC).
It also comes in a shield form factor, with additional side pads for Arduino UNO header pins.
