Pat McMahon has developed 8 different experiments for students to familiarise themselves with working with the Multi-Purpose Shield (MPS) and UNO R3. The components required for this are: Temperature sensor, Ultrasonic module, 2 x Servo motors, RGB LED, Thumb Joystick, IR Receiver, Dupont cable and Infra Red IR Wireless Remote Control Module.  

The MPS has been bundled with the components for the experiments.

Multi-purpose Shield V2 (MPS) is a learning board based on the Arduino and Arduino compatible UNO R3. It mounts on top of the UNO R3. Download the program from the internet to be able to carry out the experiments.

Our Teaching Unit lists 8 simple experiments to carry out to familiarise yourself with the MPS. There are extended ports on the shield to help you to complete other experiment.
