{"title":"Gravity: I/O Expansion Shield for Pyboard","handle":"gravity-i-o-expansion-shield-for-pyboard","url":"/products/gravity-i-o-expansion-shield-for-pyboard","description":"The Gravity I/O Expansion Shield for Pyboard connects your Pyboard v1.1 to the DFRobot Gravity sensor and module ecosystem with colour-coded plug-and-play connectors. No soldering is required — simply plug Gravity-compatible sensors and modules into the clearly labelled ports.\n\nAn onboard external power input and 3.3 V/VIN power switch allow the shield to drive higher-current components such as servos and motors through dedicated ports, while an onboard 3.3 V LDO powers the remaining ports and connected modules.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nGravity-Compatible Connectors – Colour-coded, plug-and-play interface for Gravity sensors and modules\n\n12 Digital Ports – For switches, relays, and digital sensors\n\n8 Analogue Ports – 0–3.3 V input range\n\n1 Serial Port + 2 I2C Ports – For UART and I2C devices\n\nExternal Power Support – 5–12 V input with 3.3 V/VIN switch for motor and servo ports (X1–X4)\n\nOnboard 3.3 V LDO – Up to 500 mA output for connected modules\n\nRST and USR Buttons – Accessible on-shield for easy reset and restore\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nExternal Power Supply: 5–12 V DC, < 1 A\n\nSignal Level: 3.3 V high, 0 V low\n\nAnalogue Input Range: 0–3.3 V\n\nLDO Output: 3.3 V, < 500 mA\n\nBoard Size: 33 × 42.6 mm\n\n\n\nWarning: The Pyboard operates at 3.3 V — it does not support 5 V analogue input. When driving motors or servos, connect them to ports X1–X4, use an external power supply, and set the power switch to VIN. Powering high-current devices without external power may damage the Pyboard.\n\n\n\nNote: When mounting the shield onto the Pyboard, align the shield's wire terminal with the USB port side of the Pyboard.\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Gravity I/O Expansion Shield for Pyboard\n\n\nResources\n\nProduct Wiki (DFRobot)\n","vendor":"DFRobot","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":7301,"title":"Default Title","sku":"DF-DFR0577","price":5.61,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":269,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
