Vernier Arduino® Interface Shield

Description The SparkFun RedBoard is an Arduino™ UNO-compatible board, which is perfect for use with the Vernier Arduino Interface Shield. A USB Mini-B cable is included. The SparkFun RedBoard is an Arduino-compatible board that is perfect for use with the Vernier Arduino Interface Shield. It is a surface-mount board, which is pin-for-pin compatible with a R3 3 Arduino layout. The key difference between the RedBoard and most Arduino boards is that it uses a mini-B USB connector instead of a full-size type-B USB connector. The RedBoard operating voltage is 5 volts, which is required for use with most Vernier sensors. You can power the RedBoard either with the USB connector (included) or with a 7-15 V barrel jack power supply (not included). To use Vernier sensors with the SparkFun Redboard, you will need the Vernier Arduino Interface Shield.

Integrating Vernier sensor technology with Arduino connects the physical world to the computer-centric activity of learning to code. Teaching students about the underlying physics in our technology opens the door for them to explore and become interested in how technology works. Students get excited when they see coding come to life through hands-on technology. This e-book is also included for free with the purchase of the Vernier Coding with Arduino – Analog Sensor Package, or with the purchase of the Vernier Arduino Interface Shield.
