Smart display I/O expansion shield

15 November 2017 Electronics Technology

With the objective of helping both the maker community and professional engineers, Bridgetek continued to add new hardware to its CleO smart display platform. Compatible with both the CleO35 3,5” and CleO50 5” TFT formats, the CleOIO-Shield is an input/output expansion shield that connects directly on to the NerO system controller board. It provides the CleO system with greater interfacing capabilities covering analog, digital, I2C, SPI and UART.

The additional I/O functions made available by this shield can be connected through either the CleO’s Arduino Uno interface, a MikroBus header or the Grove-Universal 4-pin connector option. The shield (which measures 70 x 53 x 21 mm) comes with a collection of daughter boards as part of the package, offering engineers a variety of different functions that can be easily integrated into their design. A rotary potentiometer module, a temperature/humidity sensing module, a voltmeter module, a light sensing module and a microphone module are all included. In addition, an FM radio functional block plus a 4-pin to 2-pin x 2 speaker cable are included.
