Overview

Introduction

The Education Shield is a custom-made shield designed by Arduino Education, specially tailored for educational purposes to enable quick and easy learning while building projects. The shield is meant to be used in conjuction with the CTC Program. It connects to an Arduino 101 or UNO and extend their capabilities. The shield has a collection of features that make building small projects in or outside of the classroom easy:

  1. Reset button. When this is pressed the program uploaded to the control board is restarted.
  2. Built in protoshield or used as a placement of breadboard.
  3. Digital input and output pins. Directly connected to the digital pins on the board.
  4. I2C connector.
  5. A1 3-pin header port: Analog out/in. This can also be used as a digital in/out.
  6. D6 and D9: digital 3-pin header ports connected to digital pin 6 and 9.
  7. Speaker plug:This is connected to digital pin 11.
  8. Ground and power pins. The voltage supply pin used in CTC is the IOREF pin. This pin outputs different voltages depending on the board (101 board: 3.3V, UNO board: 5V).
  9. Analog input/output pins.
  10. SD card reader/writer connected to digital pins 10 to 13.
Note:
  • Avoid using analog A4 and A5. These have pull-up resistors connected to them and you should avoid using unless you know what you are doing.
  • Do not use digital pins 4, 10, 11, 12 and 13 when using the micro SD card reader.
  • Digital pins 9 to 13 cannot be used for capacitive sensors, these are connected to the SD card reader which has resistors and might therefore provide false readings.
  • Digital pin 6, 9 and analog pin A1 are connected to component module ports. If the ports are used don’t use the corresponding pins.
  • Digital pin 11 is connected to the audio socket. If the socket is in use don't use the  pin.
Use Modules with simple connectors

A simple 3 pin connector, that snaps in place, is used for all 3-pin modules. Here are some examples of components All these make connecting and prototyping easier through their simplified design: Push button modules, light sensor modules, and power LED modules.

If you’re trying to connect servos or other 3-pin modules, be sure about the direction of the connector so that GND is connected to GND, power to power and signal to signal. The color of a simple connector wire helps you remember it: red means power, orange or white means signal, and black means GND. Technically you can connect modules with simple connectors without 3-pin ports, as long as you plug the wires to the right pins.

Say hello to the new Arduino Oplà IoT Kit: Experience the Internet of Things in your hands!
Say hello to the new Arduino Oplà IoT Kit: Experience the Internet of Things in your hands!
October 26, 2020

We’re excited to announce the launch of the Arduino Oplà Kit, the first open programmable IoT platform that allows you to add smart connectivity to the devices around your home or workplace and build custom IoT devices.  The Oplà IoT Kit contains all the hardware necessary to create eight connected applications, access to an online platform with assembly instructions, and a 12-month subscription to the Arduino Create Maker Plan. This kit is perfect for beginners with basic DIY experience, while more advanced users can leverage it to customize and hack their smart applications and devices, with full control of their data and processes. Eight out-of-the-box projects to connect your home or workplace The projects included in the Oplà IoT Kit enable users to turn everyday appliances into smart appliances, which can be controlled remotely on a mobile phone: Remote Controlled Lights — Change color, light modes, and switch on/offPersonal Weather Station — Record and monitor local weather conditionsHome Security Alarm — Detect motion and trigger warningsSolar System Tracker — Retrieve data from planets and moons in the solar systemInventory Control — Track goods in and outSmart Garden — Monitor and manage the environment for your plantsThermostat Control — Smart control for heating and cooling systemsThinking About You — Send messages between the kit and the Arduino IoT Cloud Create, connect, control. The Internet of Things has never been so easy! No soldering is required with the Oplà IoT Kit, which is based on a MKR IoT carrier with an OLED color display, on-board environmental sensors, and capacitive touch buttons. The kit also includes a MKR WiFi 1010 board, a circular plastic enclosure and supporting accessories, such as two cables, a motion sensor, a moisture sensor, and a USB cable. To build applications, users can rely on the Oplà online platform. Each project includes goals, an intro to the components,
