The 1Sheeld+ is an easily configured shield for Arduino. It has a built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module that gives your Arduino the capability to connect itself to your iOS and Android phones. Thanks to the 1Sheeld app available on the App Store or Google Play, you can easily associate your iPhone or Android device to it, turning your smartphone into a shield itself.
Once connected you can control your Arduino with the smartphone, sending data and controlling pins, but you can also do the opposite. The 1Sheeld library gives to your Arduino the full control of the smartphone, allowing the Arduino to send emails, control the camera, use voice recognition, send Facebook and Twitter notifications and basically everything a powerful smartphone can do.
The 1Sheeld+ is compatible with 5V and 3.3V boards.
If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.
Skill Level: Rookie - You will need a better fundamental understand of what code is, and how it works. You will be using beginner-level software and development tools like Arduino. You will be dealing directly with code, but numerous examples and libraries are available. Sensors or shields will communicate with serial or TTL.

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.
