Gravity: Nano I/O Shield
Save 21%Expand your Arduino board with the sensor you prefer! Easy and straightforward connectivity with every Gravity sensor.
Overview
The Nano I/O Sensor Shield is an expansion board for the Arduino Nano. There are several different options for power input. The form factor of the Nano I/O Shield board is the same as the Arduino UNO/Arduino Leonardo. In addition, the sensor shield adopts Gravity interface that each pinout includes 5V and GND pins for easy connection to Gravity sensors or servos. To the best compatibility, the shield supports jumper wires for rapid prototyping.
This unit comes fully assembled. The board also has a space specifically for bluetooth module and ACP220. Several I2C pins are also expanded.
The shield has independent power supply to provide extra power for servo and other sensors.

If you want to upgrade your soldering setup without spending a lot of money, then be sure to check out Angelo Casimiro's DIY Hakko 907 station. This low-cost device features an Arduino Nano to read the iron temperature via an LM358 op-amp, and regulates power to the handle and tip under PWM control using an IRFZ44N MOSFET. A potentiometer is implemented as a variable temperature knob, with the actual and preset temperature displayed on a 16x2 LCD screen, while an LED indicates whether the heating element is active. Everything is encased in a nicely printed and painted enclosure, which forms a brilliant little station that one could be proud to use. Full build instructions can be found here, including the PCB, code, and print files.
