Multi-function Expansion Shield - Arduino Compatible

The shield provides a simple solution for a universal I/O (input/output) for the Arduino boards, including the Uno, Leonardo, and Mega2560. It features many useful subsections, including 7-segment displays, pushbuttons, LEDs, and more.

Features

• 4 x LEDs
• 3 x pushbuttons
• 1 x reset button
• 1 x piezo-buzzer
• 1 x LED display module (four-digit, seven-segment)
• 2 x serial LED display driver ICs(74HC595)
• 1 x multi-turn trim pot (10K)
• 1 x port for DS18B20 temperature sensor
• 1 x port for TSOP1838 infrared receiver module
• 1 x APC220 wireless module interface (serial/UART interface)

Package included

• 1 x Arduino Multifunction Arduino Shield

Advice

It seemed that most multifunction shields don’t have pins of the seven-segment LED display module trimmed sufficiently. They will likely come into contact with the top of Arduino’s USB connector. A piece of tape over the LED display pins is necessary to clear that issue.

The Multifunctional Shield is extremely popular and has many resources on the internet. A simple web search will bring up dozens of articles and videos on programming and utilizing the shield. We have located one great PDF article, which is a great reference.
