Expand your Arduino Mega 2560 with the V2.0 Sensor Shield. Features 32-channel servo support, I2C/Bluetooth/SD interfaces, and an external power terminal for high-current loads.

SKU: ri-162 Categories: ,

Built with a high-end PCB immersion gold process, this shield ensures superior conductivity and oxidation resistance, providing long-term reliability for professional prototypes. The board is specifically designed to simplify the connection of specialized modules, featuring dedicated headers for Bluetooth (HC-05/06), SD card modules, APC220 radio frequency modules, and RB URF ultrasonic sensors.

Intelligent Power Management

One of the most powerful features of the V2.0 shield is its flexible power system. When driving a large number of servos (up to 32 channels), the power demand often exceeds what the Arduino can provide. This shield includes a blue terminal strip for an external power supply. By removing the onboard jumper, you can isolate the digital “V” pins to run on external power while keeping the analog pins on the Arduino’s filtered 5V line for reduced electrical noise and higher sensor accuracy.

Key Features

  • Immersion Gold PCB: Enhanced durability and signal integrity for high-end projects.

  • Plug-and-Play 3-Pin Headers: Each I/O pin includes dedicated Power and Ground pins.

  • 32-Channel Servo Drive: Easily manage massive robotic assemblies with external power support.

  • Specialized Interfaces: Dedicated ports for Bluetooth, SD Card, I2C, and APC220.

  • Dual Power Modes: Switch between Arduino-internal and external power via jumper settings.

  • Standard Mega Footprint: Fits perfectly onto any standard Arduino Mega 2560 R3 board.

Important Product Disclaimer

Please note that the product information provided on our website may not be entirely accurate as it is collected from various sources on the web. While we strive to provide the most up-to-date information possible, we cannot guarantee its accuracy. We recommend that you always read the product labels, warnings, and directions before using any product. Product images are shown for illustrative purposes only and may differ from the actual product.

Note

Power Configuration: If you are using more than 2-3 small servos, remove the “SEL” jumper and connect a 5V external power source to the blue terminal block. This prevents the Arduino’s onboard regulator from overheating and ensures your servos have enough current to operate under load.
