Summary of The Arno Shield
The Arno Shield is an add-on board designed for Arduino-compatible microcontrollers, serving as a convenient alternative to breadboards for prototyping and testing simple projects. It includes built-in components like LEDs and buttons, allowing users to easily run sketches from the "Learn Arduino with the Arno" book without external wiring. Once project development is complete, the shield can be removed for permanent installation.
Parts used in the Arno Shield:
- Four green LEDs
- One RGB LED
- One infrared LED
- Two momentary pushbutton switches
What is the Arno Shield?
It’s a follow up to the Arno board for those that prefer to work with a shield. When you’ve completed all the projects that are in the included book, you can pop the shield off your Arduino compatible board and start building your project.
It’s also a great way to test out your project ideas without setting up a breadboard. Sometimes you just need an LED or two and a button to interact with your sketch. Plug in the Arno Shield and you’re ready to go.
The Arno Shield can be used for all the same sketches that are included in “Learn Arduino with the Arno”
You get the same list of components to learn with:
- Four green LEDs
- One RGB LED
- One infrared LED
- Two momentary pushbutton switches for digital inputs
