Arduino Nano Prototyping shield

- A short video showing the shield I use for prototyping using the Arduino Nano for sensors, switches, LED's and servos.
They can be found on Amazon for around $2.20 each at the link below.

This one advertises as being for the Arduino Uno also. You will need to solder pins to it. Also remember there are not as many analog pins on the Arduino Uno.
Hey Buddy, great video but I wanted to point something out if I may. First, on the connectors that the wiring doesn't match up, instead of cutting it off and soldering, just unlock each pin and pull it out of the plastic connector. You can reinsert the pins into the connector so that it matches the pin-out on the Shield board. This way you don't have to solder the cables directly to the pins. The cable is much cheaper to modify than the sensor is. Second, the holes along the Shield board edges are for the Arduino UNO to plug into. This shield can be used on the UNO and the NANO. If you take a look at the pin-outs, you will see that they match. Also, you don't have to solder the NANO directly to the shield board. This way you can interchange the two boards and use the shield for various other projects that come along.
Thank you! You are correct on both counts.
For me, I prefer to solder them to the sensors. The sensors and the cables are less than 1$ each.
I discovered the nano connection after I uploaded the video. The only caveat is the number of analog pins on the Uno is only 5.
I have 3 of those but to date, I haven't used them as yet. LOL
I've been using Nano Terminal Adapter Shield Expansion Board Compatible with Arduino Nano V3.0 AVR ATMEGA328P-AU Module.
The reason is with this one, it has screw terminals along both sides. It also makes life so much easier when developing.
Also, the Nano Every board also fits in perfectly and is pin compatible.
For the one in the video here, I think I may add the screw terminals as well. I just have to find the other 2. LOL
I have those also and use them. I prefer this one as it has 5 volts and ground and uses servo cables to interface. As they said in my naval career "whatever floats your boat" or Julie Andrews "what will be will be.
In either case keep working on it!!!!!
Gonna get some! Thanks!
Exact same shield comes for the uno. What would be better to go with uno or nano 😅. Thanks for the review ☺️
I would use the nano as it has 2 extra analog inputs and typically cost less.
@@LawrenceEggering Thanks a lot for quick response ☺️
@@LawrenceEggering I had another question. Can nano with usb suppy easily hold enough power to drive 8 micro servos ?
It might but it depends on the servo used. It is much safer to use an external 5 volt supply at greater than 1 amp.
Sir for the NANO SHIELD, what's the connector called?

Thank you!
Where's the Servo external power input pin on this board?
There is not 1 single pin for it but there is a 5 volt and ground pin on each of the Input/outputs which can be used if you use servo extensions. Larger wires can be soldered to the 5 volt pin. Also the 5V pin appears on the shield in multiple locations. If you had say 10 servos, I would use two of the 5 volt pins to distribute the load if you are concerned.
@@LawrenceEggering I just received this shield. When you invert it, below the holes where there are no pins (holes below the A0 pin), it shows connection of Vin to one of these holes. Can I use a JST connector in these holes to power the Servos by AA battery pack? Also, there is a Vin and a 5V. Which'll work with a 6V battery pack?
@@divye.ruhela V in will take up to 12 volts so it can be used. (4) batteries is 6V which will be outside of the 5 volts.
@@LawrenceEggering Thanks. I was lazying around, ignoring my small project. Your video and replies helped alot!
@@divye.ruhela I am happy to help!
