Arduino 1Sheeld+

The Arduino 1Sheeld+ is an innovative Arduino expansion shield that transforms your smartphone into a powerful collection of more than 40 virtual Arduino shields. By using the dedicated 1Sheeld mobile application and built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.0) communication, the board allows Arduino projects to access smartphone features such as sensors, camera, microphone, GPS, internet connectivity, notifications, and communication services without requiring additional hardware modules. The 1Sheeld+ combines a standard Arduino shield interface with a wireless smartphone bridge, enabling advanced projects to be created faster and with fewer components. It supports popular Arduino boards including Arduino UNO, Mega, Due, and compatible development boards operating at both 5V and 3.3V logic levels. The shield is suitable for education, rapid prototyping, IoT experiments, robotics, automation, and smart device development.

Principle of Operation

The 1Sheeld+ works as a wireless communication bridge between an Arduino board and a smartphone. The Arduino communicates with the shield through the serial interface, while the shield exchanges data with the smartphone using Bluetooth Low Energy.

After installing the 1Sheeld application, users can select virtual shields such as GPS, camera, microphone, buttons, sensors, notifications, or displays. The smartphone collects or sends data through the app, and the 1Sheeld+ transfers this information to the Arduino in real time. This allows developers to use advanced smartphone capabilities inside Arduino projects without adding dedicated sensors or communication modules.

Applications

  • Smartphone-controlled Arduino projects
