What is Arduino®

Arduino® is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino® boards are able to read inputs – light-on sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message – and turn them into an output – activating a motor, turning on an LED, or publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so, you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino ® software IDE (based on Processing).
Additional shields/modules/components are required for reading a Twitter message or publishing online.

Product overview

The Whadda Logic Level Shifter module provides 8 logic conversion channels to enable microcontrollers, sensors, and modules with different logic level voltages to communicate with each other. Each channel is fully bidirectional and is compatible with both open-drain and push-pull logic drivers. The module can be used to convert 3.3 V to 5 V, 1.8-3.3. V and other common logic levels.
It is recommended to pull the Output Enable pin high with a pullup resistor to ensure the outputs are properly enabled. If the different logic level data lines need to be isolated, the Output Enable line can be pulled low. This will put all of the I/O channels in a high-impedance state.
