Nano IO shield

Other Hardware General Electronics

Little is there to find online about a nano io shield, besides this explanation : "Nano IO shield is a breakout board for Arduino Nano. It breaks out all pins as Electronic brick 3pin interface, the Zigbee XBee Series Modules and nRF24L01 wireless interface. And it supports 7-12V external power supply.", can someone explain to me the main functions of this hardware?

Cheers

Hi,

If this is what you are referring to (see below) the board is simply a method of allowing easy connections to different other boards and I/O connections. From what I see it has no electronic components, only sockets. Some of the sockets are arranged to accept specific other boards (such as XBee)

Hi, These show a little detail and have good labels:

Here's the "Screw Shield":

and there is even a CNC control version:

I'm working with Keyes to make a ESP32 version that will make that great chip easy to connect to...

Im not to familiar with arduino shields, i thought that they had some kind of use other than providing easier connecting with other boards and i/o connections.

Thanks for the replies !

The word "shield" seems to be used for anything that plugs into an Arduino, and usually has some electrical function.

Technically what you have is just a "breakout board"
