The sensor modules include an accelerometer, a pressure sensor, a magnetometer, an optical proximity and ambient light sensor, a color sensor, a heart rate sensor, a hall sensor, and a temperature sensor. The shield has eight slots: two analog, one GPIO, and five I2C, but six of the sensors work on I2C so you won’t be able to use all eight modules at the same time. To use the sensors you want, though, you just plug them in and pull the relevant example code into the Arduino IDE. To monitor temperature, for example, plug in the temperature sensor module, upload the example code to an Arduino and get data back on the serial monitor. But if I want to add more, I just plug in those sensors and pull the example code into one file. I’ll add the pressure sensor, accelerometer, magnetometer, proximity and ambient light sensor, and color sensor to the shield.
