Provides a variety of useful inputs and outputs for various projects.

  • Three linear slide potentiometers connected to Arduino analog pins A0, A1, and A2.
  • Red and yellow LEDs connected to digital pins 5 and 6 (PWM pins) so you can easily vary their brightness.
  • Three momentary push buttons connected up to the Arduino's digital pins D10, D11, and D12. Those lines will go low when the buttons are pressed.
  • A photocell and a temperature sensor, both with analog outputs, are connected to the analog pins A3 and A4, respectively.
  • An 8-bit shift register set up to control a blue 7-segment LED.
  • Two buzzers. One is used as a speaker, the other is connected to analog pin A5 and can be used as a knock sensor.


IMPORTANT: There is another Danger Shield manufactured by Seeedstudio. Both designs refer to the idea of Zach Hoeken / NYCresistor. But have slightly different features (Slider LEDs, sensor types). Please compare schematics if you care about the differences.
