I loves me some Arduino. The only thing I dont love and Im sure many of my fellow Arduino tinkerers would agree with me here is buying or building a new shield (read: add-on board) every time I need to some functionality that the board doesnt support out of the box (like internet connectivity, microphone input, or audio playback.) 1sheeld lets your smartphone act as many different shields. Its the first product built by Integreight, an eight man team out of Cairo, Egypt. Integreight was voted as the audience choice at Disrupt Europe this evening, plucking them from the dozens of startups exhibiting just outside of the main theater and dropping them right into the flurry that is the Disrupt Battlefield. Your smartphone is packed with tons of sensors many of them the same types of sensors that you might want to strap on to an Arduino by way of a shield. Its got Bluetooth. Its got WiFi. Its got gyroscopes, and accelerometers, and a touchscreen that can emulate all sorts of keypads and display types. Why not let your smartphone share those capabilities with your Arduino, effectively allowing it to provide the prototyping functionality of dozens of different shields? Thats the idea behind 1sheeld. With 1sheeld, you strap just one shield (hence the name) to your Arduino board. That shield acts as a wireless middle-man, piping data between your Arduino and your handset. On your phone, youve got an app running that can quickly switch 1sheelds behavior from shield to shield. Want to test audio playback, but dont want to order, wait for, and eventually build an audio shield? 1sheeld lets you pipe audio through your phones speaker. Want to integrate internet functionality? It can pull data from your phones built-in wireless receivers. Want microphone input? Itll do it. Magnetometer and gyroscope data? Yep. Hell, itll act as an two-color LCD display if you dont feel like bustin out the ol breadboard. The idea isn’t to kill shields, of course once you get past the early prototyping stages of an Arduino project, you’d probably want to swap in a proper, dedicated shield to do whatever you’re using your smartphone for. Plus, there are some shields that your phone just couldnt replace. For example, theres no straightforward way for your phone to act as a motor shield (for, say, powering the motors of an RC car);
