Overview
The MKR2UNO Adapter allows you to turn your Arduino UNO form factor based project into a MKR based one without too much effort! You can so upgrade your project with a powerful board with integrated LiPo battery charger.
Please note that currently the MKR2UNO adapter is compatible only with MKR1000 without headers

Please keep in mind that the MKR2UNO is just a form factor adapter and so is NOT present any voltage translation. Be careful before connecting a shield since shield without IOREF level shifting capability may not work properly.
Like in many others Arduino boards this adapter allows to power your MKR board using a barrel jack with center positive polarity or the VIN pin on the headers.
Unlike the Arduino UNO, the MKR2UNO Adapter do NOT have I2C signals on A4 and A5 and SPI on pins 11, 12 and 13.
All the pins on the MKR2UNO Adapter are wired one to one from the MKR to the UNO form factor with some exception:

An interactive polyphonic wavetable synthesiser for the Arduino GIGA & Display Shield
In a previous video about controlling household appliances and lighting fixtures from the Arduino Cloud, Sachin Soni of the techiesms YouTube channel designed a custom PCB that allows an Arduino Nano ESP32 to toggle a series of relays. But since then, he realized that his project needed a faster and more permanent method of getting to the controls, which led him to build a complete home automation dashboard using solely Arduino hardware. Soni opted for the new Arduino GIGA Display Shield since it contains a 3.97” RGB touchscreen with support for up to five simultaneous touch points and an array of sensors if the functionality were to ever be expanded. On the back, an Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi was attached to act as the display’s controller and leverage its Wi-Fi capabilities to communicate with the system’s Arduino Cloud variables. The final step in this project involved creating a software-defined graphical user interface (GUI) complete with toggleable buttons for the lights, dials to indicate temperature/humidity levels, and a way to select the fan’s speed from an array of values. Soni was able to finish most of the groundwork by utilizing the LVGL library and its highly customizable GUI components. After laying out the buttons and dials, synchronizing Cloud variables, and connecting their event handlers to value updates, Soni had a functional tablet that could wirelessly manage his appliances from anywhere.
