The chipKIT™ Basic I/O Shield is an input/output expansion board designed for use with chipKIT microcontroller boards such as the Uno32 and the Max32.

The Basic I/O Shield is designed to provide a range of input/output devices suitable for beginners learning about microcontrollers and various types of I/O devices, or for use by more advanced user to provide inputs or outputs for their own projects.

The Basic I/O Shield provides simple digital input devices such as switches and buttons, and digital output devices such as discrete LEDs and high current open FET drivers. It provides more advanced devices such as an I²C EEPROM, an I²C temperature sensor, and organic LED graphic display. A potentiometer is also provided for use as an analog input device.

Features:

• Usable with either the Uno32 or the Max32
• 256Kbit I2C EEPROM
• 128x32 pixel OLED graphic display
• I²C temperature sensor
• I²C daisy chain connector
• 4 open drain FET drivers
• Analog potentiometer
• 4 push buttons & 4 slide switches
• 8 discrete LEDs
