I bought this terminal shield to connect a sensor using CAT5E and would like the 3 wires from my sensor to use the screw terminals so they can be detached easily without soldering.
The sensor needs a resistor between it and the 5V power. Its easier to see what I'm trying to do with the attached image. How to do this using the terminal shield?
Thanks

Re: question about how to wire up one-wire sensor
Good point, I hadn't thought of that. There is actually 3 sensors though.
I have improvised by getting some stackable header pins and cutting off pin D13 so that terminal point isn't connected to the actual D13.
