Introduction
This keyboard uses an analog input to read the five key state which saves IO resource for the Arduino. It can be used together with our IO Expansion Shield_For Arduino(V5)_(SKU:_DFR0088) to make amazing interactive project.
Specification
- Supply voltage: 5V
- Interface: Analog
- Size: 40x33mm
