Here comes something exciting and exclusive, an Arduino shield for Arduino UNO/Leonardo as well as MEGA 2560 (compact size). The shield features:
- 4-pin serial UART socket (GND,VCC,Tx,Rx) x 2
- 4-pin I2C sockets (GND,VCC,SDA,SCL) x 2
- 3-pin igital I/O x 2
- 3-pin analog I/O x 4
- MicroSD/TF socket
- BLE (Bluetooth Low-Energy) or Bluetooth 2.1 module
- Stacking additional shields
When using with Arduino MEGA 2560 Compact, the serial UART sockets are wired to Serial1 (for OBD-II) and Serial2 (for GPS). The shield can be a best-fit for using Arduino with OBD-II UART adapter as well as GPS receiver. With the MicroSD/TF socket, data can be logged. With the BLE module, data can be live transmitted to an iPhone or iPad.
The shield can be stacked with additional shield, e.g. TFT LCD shield, to form a device with display. Running the MEGA Logger sketch, the device could look like this working in the car:
This shield will soon available for order. Please stay tuned.
