(near the power pins).

Arduino Uno R3, Duemilanove, Leonardo, and Mega 2560 (uses Uno footprint).

Proper power configuration is critical when working with components that draw high current, such as servo motors or relays. Failing to manage power correctly can cause the Arduino to reset or permanently damage its onboard voltage regulator. The External Power Terminal Block arduino sensor shield v5 0 manual

): Located on the opposite side, designed for analog sensors (e.g., potentiometers, light sensors).

is an expansion board that stacks directly onto an Arduino Uno to simplify sensor and servo connections by breaking out each I/O pin into a dedicated 3-pin header (Signal, VCC, GND). Connects directly to the respective Arduino digital or

Usually the yellow, white, or green wire row (connects directly to the Arduino I/O pin). Specialized Communication Ports

The shield is characterized by its neat arrangement of 3-pin headers. These headers are color-coded for ease of identification: Proper power configuration is critical when working with

The shield provides a dedicated 4-pin header for I2C communication.
