I am attempting a project that will utilize many sensors, so I bought a Sainsmart Arduino Sensor Shield v5.0. When I try to attach my dfrobot CO2 sensor, it suddenly causes the IDE to disconnect the port that the Arduino Uno is attached to (the port selection in the Tools tab suddenly becomes greyed out). The port immediately reconnect once I remove the sensor. However, the sensor does properly power on when connected. I have tried using all of the different analog inputs on the shield as well as reinstalling the Arduino IDE, all to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Give us a link to the shield and sensor and a circuit of how it is connected. Drawn on a sheet of paper and photographed will do.
