Arduino Uno/Leonardo format plug-in boards (Shields)
Who needs a floppy disk drive anymore? For retro enthusiasts, this question is quickly answered. And this simple project makes it possible to connect a floppy disk drive to a modern computer via USB. Entire floppy disks can be created using image files. I've built this project discreetly before with limited success. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work to check…

Found another motor shield on AliExpress, this one has an L298 motor driver. What's interesting is that the braking function and current measurement are brought out. What is a preview: As I'm losing track of the ordered hardware more and more, I'll write a small preview after ordering. Then, when I get to the hardware...

Description This board offers a 10/100 Mbit Ethernet connection and a slot for an SD card. It is controlled via the SPI port and its contacts are daisy-chained, allowing other additional boards to be fitted onto it. Unfortunately, only one can be active at a time: either the SD card or the W5100 network chip. The board/software ...

Sometimes you need a little more memory for your data, and what if someone also provides a reliable timestamp? All of this... OK, it's only two functions... but this data logger add-on board for the Arduino Uno and compatible boards provides all of this. The pins are looped through, so multiple add-on boards can be used together. ...

The sensor board is good for quick testing. It offers many connection points and even supplies power at the connection level. If the project requires more power, there is an option to power it with an external voltage source. Facts: 2 screw terminals for an external power supply, 13 GPIO pins brought out and with earth…

This add-on board has an L298P motor driver on board. This allows two DC motors to be operated with up to 2A. In addition, the board also has a buzzer and some connections that have been brought out. See also the diagram in the next chapter. I will keep the test very short and only [mention] the buzzer and…

This board allows all Arduino pins to be fitted with screw terminals. It is daisy-chained, so another expansion board can be plugged on top. The reset button and a bit of space for soldering components complete the picture. Other than an LED on pin 13, the board offers no further functions. Facts 28 screw terminals 28...
