Stratus Shield
For expansion and interfacing various sensors and hardware peripherals, Conexio Stratus also comes with a shield (can be purchased separately).
Forget about breadboard and soldering iron, working with a Straus shield requires no soldering and minimal wiring. Just plug the sensors, actuators, or displays into this shield via the standard cables, allowing you to focus on coding and application creation. Isn't that cool!
The shield supports:
- 2 x Sparkfun Qwiic connector: SparkFun's Qwiic Connect System, allowing to connect over 100+ Qwiic products.
- 1 x Grove I2C connector: Grove is a modular, standardized connector prototyping system by Seeedstudio.
- 1 x 2 Pin JST connector for plugging the solar panel input.
