Dot Developer Board and Arduino shields

[Peter Weidler]

Can you attach a sensor shield that fits with an Arduino Uno directly to the MDot development board or do you also need to attach the Arduino Uno in order to get the data from the shield ? In other words can the MDot be programmed to do all the things that you might use an Arduino for. thanks

Usually you can directly connect arduino shields. You should confirm the pinout of on page 50 of the MTDOT developer guide. The biggest difference is the no connects on a few of the analog and digital pins. However sensor boards that just use i2c on pins D15 and D14 will be fine.

Do you have a particular sensor board in mind? For reference, we’ve used the X-NUCELO-IKS01A1 sensor board on the UDK a lot without issues: http://www.st.com/en/ecosystems/x-nucleo-iks01a1.html
