INSTALLATION 1
Base connecons
Screw the communicaon antenna (1) into
the module’s RF antenna outlet (2).
For correct communicaon, turn the commu-
nicaons antenna (1) to posion it vercally
in the direcon of the module.

At this point, the UserBot shield is ready to be
assembled into the Arduino.
Connecon to Arduino
- Arduino UNO;
- Arduino Duemilanove;
- Arduino Leonardo with headers;
- Genuino Zero.
First, check if your Arduino model is compa-
ble with UserBot shield. Compable models:

Before connecng the UserBot shield to the
Arduino, make sure the Arduino is correctly
assembled and ready to be used (follow the
official Arduino instrucons manual). Also,
make sure your Arduino is not connected to
the power supply.
Place the Arduino on a firm surface, far from
flood-prone areas. Make sure the Arduino
female pin headers (A1) are faced up and the
UserBot shield connecon pins (7) are faced
down.
Insert the UserBot connecon pins (7) into the
Arduino female header (A1) from top-down as
shown in the above picture.

Avoid the contact between the UserBot shield and the
Arduino USB power entry (A2).

Peripherals connecon
Since UserBot is an extension for Arduino, it
means that any device or sensor that can
interface with Arduino is also compable
with UserBot shield.
In this way, the list of compable devices and
sensors is extremely long, being impossible
to list and explain how to connect all of them.
We will provide two examples: the first one
shows how to connect/sample a buon and a
temperature sensor, while also act on a LED;
the second one explains how to act on a DC
motor.
Before assembling any sensor or device, make sure the
Arduino is not connected to the power supply. Moreover, it is
advisable to carry out the assembly on a firm surface, far
from flood-prone areas. Also, use the proper tools for
handling electronic components.

The diagram on the previous page shows the
connecon of some different peripherals to
the UserBot shield through its female pin
headers (6).
The tacle buon SPST (S1) is sampled on
Arduino analog pin A0; the LM35 temperature
sensor (U1) is sampled on Arduino analog pin
A1; the LED (D1) is controlled through the
Arduino digital pin 3. To control the ‘speed/in-
tensity’ of a device, it is required to use a PWM
Arduino digital pin (e.g. 3 and 5).
Use the +5V, +3V3 and the GND pins on Ardui-
no to power your sensors and/or devices.
Please refer to the official Arduino documenta-
on regarding power constraints on these
pins.
The UserBot shield includes an onboard bread-
board (5) that you are free to use. However, for
the diagram, we used an external breadboard
(BB) for a beer understanding.
It is crucial to pay aenon to the polarity of the different
components. A wrong connecon can damage your
components and Arduino/UserBot.
