So my Arduino finally turned up from China yesterday, so I wasted no time in getting started.
First up was to connect my
Sensor Shield V4.
This has header pins which plug into the Arduino and give each pin a +5V and GND (usable with 3pin header cables)
The layout of each connector on the board is +5V, GND and SENSOR but the layout of the cable connector was GND, +5V, SENSOR. This meant lifting the flap on the cable connector and swapping the 2 of the spades connectors over on all the sensor shields I have.
I then connected up an LM35 sensor to A0 and a sound sensor to A1
I then wrote a sketch to retrieve the values (the temperature sensor needs to be averaged as it can sometimes report a figure well out of range) and send comments to the serial port.
