Arduino MKR Adapter
Overview
The TSX00005 is an interface adapter board designed to bridge the classic Arduino Uno-style pinout to the more compact MKR form factor. It allows users to connect MKR-series boards to standard Arduino shields while maintaining electrical compatibility for 3.3V and 5V signals. The adapter features an onboard voltage regulator supporting input voltages from 6V to 16V.
Why Choose This Part
It provides a robust power management solution with a wide 6V to 16V input range and supports up to 700mA current on both 3.3V and 5V rails. The board simplifies the transition from 5V logic legacy systems to modern 3.3V MKR hardware without complex level-shifting wiring.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Plug your MKR board into the center headers of the adapter and then stack your desired shield on top. Ensure your power supply is within the 6V to 16V range if using the barrel jack. Programming is handled via the standard Arduino IDE by selecting the specific MKR board model installed on the adapter.
Also Consider
Arduino
- Provides a direct breakout for MKR boards to ease wiring in custom enclosures.
Arduino
- The native platform for Uno shields if MKR-specific features like Wi-Fi or LoRa are not required.
