Well explained. I had already assumed what a shield was based on all the things I had heard and read. Yet none of the sources I found ever came out and explained it. Thanks. Sub and will check out the lessons.
Nice. Small note: entomology is the study of insects, but etymology is the study of words. :-) But the real question I have: a lot of shields I see have just holes, and those holes are not connected. So how does one connect them? Two pins in one hole? Surely not?
Great question! Frequently you solder on what are called “header pins” into those holes. The holes are connected to the shield components via copper “traces” on the circuit board. Depending on the type of header, these can fit in breadboards or accept a jumper wire to connect to. I hope this helps some!
@@programmingelectronics some! But what about all the holes that are connected to nothing? No taxes? Just holes by themselves. If I Sold out, say, a pin of a resistor into such a hole, fine. But then it’s not connected to anything else… Am I supposed to then also stick a wire into the same hole? Surely that’s not good practice, but I don’t understand how else to use them.
Do I absolutely need to use shields, for projects that involve the use of sound, wifi, bluetooth, motors ..etc ? or is it just easier with those shields ?
I wish they wouldn’t use the word shield for a circuit board. I need to find an emf shield for devices. Shield.... protect (someone or something) from a danger, risk, or unpleasant experience or a piece of metal or other material, carried to protect the front of the body when being attacked, or a person or thing that provides protection: The police held up their riot shields. The ozone layer is the earth's shield against radiation from the sun. Now back to searching for a RF or EMF shield for my mpu6050 gyro.
What about re-mapping pins? I have a USB shield that works on the UNO but not on the Mega because the SPI pins are in a different location. The documentation says they are compatible, so there should be a way to re-map the pins, but I'm not sure how.
Dude! You are really smart but I have to call you on this one. You said etymology (scientific study of insects,) when I believe you wanted to say etymology (study of history of words.) Trying to be helpful
It's not entomology, which is about insects, it's etymology, which is about the root meanings of words. Sometimes trying to sound smart really just makes you sound, well, nevermind. I really like your tutorials so I'll just shut up.

That sandwich part is such a cliffhanger...

This channel is so educative..
Keep make it about arduino project,,
Soon subscriber will grow..
Thank you
Still helpful 8 years on, thanks.
Glad it helped!
good clear explanation.
Thanks!
I'm really intrested in the sandwich story but I cannot find it? is there a other keyword I miss?

@@MichaelWillems I mean the use of that pin will be given on the datasheet of the shields, if not its just there to provide emotional support 😍😍
It was helpful. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching!
Nice,thanks for sharing the video :)
Thanks for watching!
Bruh u can't tell me about the story of an italian sandwich maker of the 11th century and then just dismiss it like u didn't spiked my curiosity.
Sounded like some powered up a UV-5R radio at 3:03... sounded like it to me..
Great video, but I am wondering if its at all possible to solder on your own pin headers to a shield if your shield ended up not having some on top?
What do you do the circuit diagrams with? Those look really neat
Do I absolutely need to use shields, for projects that involve the use of sound, wifi, bluetooth, motors ..etc ? or is it just easier with those shields ?
Just easier (and quicker generally), but not necessary in most all cases.
I wish they wouldn’t use the word shield for a circuit board. I need to find an emf shield for devices.

Thanks, very informative! BTW what's the song for the intro/outro?
When sandwiched do you loose access to some of the connectors on a shield ??
Is there a shield to make arduino can produce more volt
Thank you.🙌🙏
You are so welcome Joshua! Thanks for the note!
Very helpful
Glad it could help!
Nice Explanation.

Do shields have their own CPU?
Can we make a tower with an arduino uno and 100 shields?
maybe
you would run out of pins if you did that
Very helpful - thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Superb explanation and thanks.. :-)
Thanks for watching!
What is the difference between an arduino sheild and a bluetooth dongle ???
Execpt that in its pins ( physical differences)
Everything except if the dongle is an arduino shield
*2018?*
does anybody know the reason why the arduino does not work when I put on it my sensor shield?
Put the Shield ON the Arduino. Not the Arduino on it@_@
My problem is I want to know how and why not just that I can once i know how and why then i feel i can cheat
I don't think that the shield is necessary.
Sodering ! hehe I'm sure there's an L in there... lol
