Smart Shield¶
1. Overview¶
The YUMI Smart Shield adds dedicated USB-C power to the Smart Pi One — enough to double the power available to the board for more demanding projects. It also offsets the GPIO header by 45° for easier, more intuitive access, and breaks out UART and an ADXL345 connector.
2. Key features¶
- USB-C power input/output — doubles the power available on the Smart Pi One
- GPIO offset by 45° for improved accessibility
- Dedicated ADXL345 sensor connector
- UART1 / UART2 access, plus an RJ11 connector for UART1
- Raspberry Pi-compatible 40-pin GPIO
3. Compatibility¶
Designed for the Smart Pi One. The 40-pin GPIO is compatible with the Raspberry Pi's GPIO, and the dedicated connector makes wiring the YUMI ADXL345 sensor effortless. Ideal for automation, robotics, and sensor/actuator projects that need stable, higher power.
