Tutorial: How to use Screw Shield for Arduino Nano V3

The Screw Shield for Arduino Nano V3 is an expansion adapter that allows the electronic mounting of components on a stable base, facilitating prototyping. Ideal for beginners and makers.

What you need

• Arduino Nano V3
• small screwdriver

Steps

1. Connect the Arduino Nano to the Screw Shield by inserting the board into the specific connector of the shield.
2. Use the screwdriver to secure the Nano pins to the holes of the shield, ensuring a solid and stable connection.
3. Check that all contacts are well connected without overlapping.
4. If necessary, connect any external components such as sensors or LEDs to the mounting points of the Screw Shield.
5. Write the Arduino code to interact with the physical pins and test the connection.

Example code

void setup() {
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);   // accendi LED interna di Arduino Nano
  delay(1000);               // attesa di un secondo
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);    
  delay(1000);                // attesa di un secondo
}

Mini project

Create a small weather station with temperature and humidity sensors connected to the Screw Shield. Test the data on the serial monitor.

Common mistakes

• Do not use too much force when securing the pins, it could damage the Nano.
• Make sure all external components are correctly connected before uploading the code.
• Always check the electrical voltage of the external components before connecting them to the Screw Shield.

Recommended accessories

• Temperature and Humidity Sensor DHT11
• Variable RGB LED
• 220 Ohm Resistors
