Arduino Easy Module Shield Tutorial - Is this the best Arduino shield?

  • 6 years ago
Dear friends welcome to another Arduino Tutorial! Today we are going to take a first look at this very promising new shield for Arduino, the Arduino Easy Module Shield! Also we are going to build a couple of projects with it. Lets get started!\r

Hello guys, I am Nick and welcome to educ8s.tv a channel that is all about DIY electronics projects with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266 and other popular boards. Subscribe to the channel now if you dont want to miss any future videos. Today we are going to use this amazing new shield I discovered a few weeks ago. It is the easy module shield, a low cost shield that in my opinion is the best shield available for beginners in Arduino.\r

The cost of the shield is around 9$. You can find a link for it in the description of the video. The Easy Module shield offers a lot of sensors and components that will allow you to build many Arduino projects in no time. Lets see what this shield has to offer.\r
• A DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor\r
• An LM35 temperature sensor\r
• A photoresistor\r
• An RGB LED\r
• Two LEDS, a blue and a red\r
• An IR receiver\r
• Two push buttons\r
• A buzzer\r
• And a potentiometer\r

With all these components available you can easily build more than 10 projects! You wont have to solder or connect anything at all. Thats very important in my opinion for beginners in Arduino. All you have to focus on, is to learn to code, and then after you are comfortable with the code you can move on to more complex projects that require connecting some components together or some soldering. Next to each component you can see the Digital on Analog pin it is connected to. Also, there are a couple of digital pins and one analog pin available for other projects.\r

If you combine the Easy Module Shield with this display you can build even more interesting projects. The display is big and easy to use. It uses the I2C interface so in order to make it work with the shield you only have to connect 4 wire here. In my opinion, an Arduino Uno, the Easy Module Shield and this 20x4 I2C LCD display is the best kit you can buy if you are a beginner. The cost of this kit is less than 20$ and it will allow you to build some very cool projects. Today we are going to build two projects with this shield, but I will prepare many more in the future.\r
