We developed a new shield for all kind of MKR Arduino! The shield for the field.
Made for every MKR developer who wants to bring his project on solid footing!
This Arduino MKR MultiShield offers a display, loudspeaker with adjustable 2 watt amplifier, stable power supply for controller and outputs, robust stabilized DC / DC input voltages from 5 to 30 volts DC, 16 additional digital GPIO with screw terminals for the inputs and outputs as well as I2C and UART.
A Micro-SD card slot, two DC voltage meters, a Micro USB Power In, a high-voltage relay and BUS connections enable a wide variety of devices and projects in a stable environment for industry, private applications and training.
Matching housings and a generic front panel for convenient development and robust use in production allow your projects to flourish and work professionally and comfortably in a solid environment.The MKRMS is available in individual parts or as a pre-assembled complete package and can be equipped and adapted according to your own requirements .
The MKRMS can be equipped with any Arduino MKR. Sensors, switches and other components and extensions are added according to the needs of your project. In the front panel milled in advance for the loudspeaker and the display, switches, LEDs and sensors are added according to your wishes. Power is supplied via a micro USB or a screw terminal with 5 to 30 V DC.

SOFTWARE
All libraries are stored on the supplied SD card together with examples.
The programming is carried out normally via your usual development environment on the USB In on the MKR board. Thanks to the stable power supply, the MKRMS can be programmed and used without restarting after removing the programming cable. Power problems caused by spikes or power-hungry sensors are a thing of the past. The assembled and programmed MKRMS is then screwed onto the front panel and screwed to the housing. The entire package is then mounted directly in a wall or in another housing.
Plug in the MKR, switch it on, and get started!
