We specially design this NANO shield, fully compatible with Nano. The NANO shield has brought out digital and analog pins of Nano into 3PIN headers (GND, 5V, Signal) with pin pitch of 2.54mm.</p><p>The NANO shield also leads out frequently-used communication pins, such as serial port communication and I2C communication. It’s greatly easy to connect Nano and other sensor modules.</p><p>It comes with a power indicator and a reset button as well. For external power, the NANO shield comes with a PH2.0-2P connector (input DC7-12V); a Power_Switch for power control. To supply power for other sensors, the NANO shield comes with a 3-way DC3.3V power output pin header with pin pitch of 2.54mm.</p><p>It comes with 4 fixing holes with a diameter of 3mm, so easy to mount on other devices.</p><div class="embedExternal embedImage display-large float-none"> <div class="embedExternal-content"> <a class="embedImage-link" href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6031942/uploads/CMJ6SKFQH6DE/dwdwe.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener ugc" target="_blank"> <img class="embedImage-img" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6031942/uploads/CMJ6SKFQH6DE/dwdwe.jpg" alt="dwdwe.jpg" height="1440" width="1920" loading="lazy" data-display-size="large" data-float="none"></img></a> </div> </div> <h2 data-id="features">Features </h2><p>1.
