Arduino Shields
Arduino shields are pre-built circuit boards that are easily plugged on top of your Arduino headers to extend its capabilities.
With the Arduino, adding Bluetooth, wifi connectivity, GPS, motor driver can be difficult if you are new to the Arduino. With shields, you can avoid all the trouble and easily plug in a shield on the back of your Arduino.
Similar to sensors, shields have various functionalities from wifi connectivity, ethernet, driving and controlling motors, camera, storage, touch screen, E-Ink Display, and many more!
Interested? You can check out all our Arduino Shields here! Here is an example of one of them.
Grove Base Shield V2.0 for Arduino
The Grove Base Shield provides a simple way to connect your Arduino Boards to Grove modules.
With the 16 on-board Grove connectors, you can be assured that you always have enough ports for your different Grove modules. There is also an RST button, and a green LED to indicate its power status. Being an Arduino shield, it allows for plug-and-play connection to the Arduino Uno R3 and several other Arduino boards.

Arduino Sensors
With a few lines of code on your Arduino, you can play around and control a wide variety of sensors and build awesome projects. Our sensors can measure light, ultrasonic distance, moisture, temperature, humidity, gas, pressure, motion, sound, touch, and many more! Whatever you can think of, our Grove sensors can sense it! Not to mention all our Arduino sensor modules are compatible with our Grove system, perfect for beginners.

About the Arduino IDE
After knowing the hardware of Arduino, you will require software and programming to make your Arduino come to life and allow it to interact with various sensors and shields.
To program your Arduino, you will require the Arduino IDE software.
Arduino IDE makes it easy for you to write code and upload it on your Arduino board. This program is cross-platform which means it is able to run on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux compared to other microcontroller systems which can only run Windows.
This software can be used with any Arduino board like our Seeeduino V4.2, Arduino UNO, etc. The environment is written in Java and based on processing and other open-source software.
This program uses a simplified version of C++ with syntax highlighting and other features which makes it easier to learn to program which is perfect for beginners to learn programming and coding!
After you finish writing your code, you can then easily load your code on your Arduino IDE with a USB cable with a click of a button.
