Sheeld is a new easily configurable shield for Arduino. It is connected to a mobile app that enables the use of all the capabilities of Android smartphones, such as LCD screen, gyroscope, switches, LEDs, accelerometer, magnetometer, GSM, Wi-Fi, GPS, etc. in your Arduino sketch.
Currently, there are more than 40 shields in 1Sheeld.
The first part is a shield that is physically connected to your Arduino board and acts as a wireless intermediary, passing data between the Arduino and any Android smartphone via Bluetooth. The second part is a software platform and app on Android smartphones that manages the communication between our shield and your smartphone, allowing you to choose between various available shields.
By doing this, you can use 1Sheeld as input or output for Arduino and take advantage of all the sensors and peripherals already available on your Android smartphone instead of purchasing the actual shields. You can use it to control an RC car with the phone's gyroscope, or even send a tweet when someone enters the room!
The aim is to provide faster and cheaper ways to prototype your Arduino projects.
What can you do with 1Sheeld?
The sky is the limit! You have a powerful Android smartphone that can be used to control your RC car, tweet when plants are thirsty, and have fun with your friends.
The designer of 1Sheeld has already developed a variety of shields for 1Sheeld, such as LED, Toggle Button, Buzzer, Slider, LCD, 7-Segment, Keyboard, Music Player, Game Pad, Notifications, Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Gyroscope, SMS, Torch and Microphone. And we have many other shields in the pipeline.
