Description

The Arduino MKR ENV Shield is a compact and powerful add-on board engineered to enhance the sensing capabilities of your Arduino MKR family boards. It integrates advanced onboard sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, light intensity (LUX), and UV levels, making it an ideal solution for environmental and Internet of Things (IoT) projects. This shield transforms your MKR board into a robust data acquisition platform for diverse applications.

Developers, educators, and hobbyists can leverage the MKR ENV Shield to create intelligent applications such as weather stations, indoor climate monitoring systems, and smart agriculture solutions. Its high-precision sensors, including the LPS22HB for pressure and a specialized UV sensor, ensure accurate data collection. The plug-and-play design, supported by a ready-to-use Arduino library, simplifies integration and programming without requiring complex wiring.

To support projects requiring local data storage, the shield includes a MicroSD card slot for logging collected environmental values. For optimal performance, particularly for light and UV measurements, the MKR ENV Shield should be placed on top of any stack of shields to ensure unobstructed sensor exposure. It operates at 3.3V and communicates primarily via I2C, with some sensors potentially using analog interfaces.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What Arduino boards are compatible with the MKR ENV Shield Rev2?

The MKR ENV Shield Rev2 is designed for seamless integration with any board from the Arduino MKR family. It physically stacks directly onto MKR boards and utilizes their 3.3V operating voltage and I2C communication interface. This ensures broad compatibility within the MKR ecosystem for diverse projects.

What environmental parameters can the MKR ENV Shield Rev2 measure?

This shield integrates multiple sensors to measure a comprehensive set of environmental parameters. It accurately detects temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, UV levels (UVA, UVB, UVBI), and ambient light intensity in Lux. This provides a robust dataset for detailed environmental analysis.

How does the MKR ENV Shield Rev2 handle data storage?

The MKR ENV Shield Rev2 includes an onboard MicroSD card slot. This feature allows users to easily log and store collected environmental data locally, facilitating long-term monitoring and data analysis without constant connection to a host computer. A MicroSD card is not included.

What communication protocol does the MKR ENV Shield Rev2 use?

The primary communication protocol for the MKR ENV Shield Rev2 is I2C. This allows for efficient data transfer between the shield's sensors and the host Arduino MKR board using only two data lines, SDA and SCL, alongside power and ground connections. Some sensors may also utilize analog pins.

Are there any specific considerations for mounting or using the MKR ENV Shield?

Yes, for optimal performance, especially for light and UV measurements, the MKR ENV Shield Rev2 should be mounted on top of any shield stack. This ensures the light sensors are unobstructed and can accurately read ambient light levels. It operates at a 3.3V supply.
