I am using Arduino mega and a sensor shield (picture attached below). I need to connect three different wires to 3.3 V input. Can anybody suggest how can I achieve the same? What voltage do the VCC pins of all digital and analog pins on the sensor shield have?

They are all 5V as the Mega2560 uses 5 V logic. However, there is a 3V3 pin at the bottom, second pin from the left, that you could use:
However, unfortunately, the pin isn't protruding above the shield, so you'll have to make an ugly solder link to the top of the pin. Either that, or remove the row of pins and replace with a female header (carefully avoiding the SD card pins):
As an aside, the Iteaduino MEGA 2560 works at 3V3 but unfortunately the Mega shield that you have won't fit it.
The Uno equivalent of your shield will fit it though:
- I guess the shield would still provide 5 V from the 5 V pin of the 3.3 V Mega2022-08-13 05:27:34 +00:00Commented Aug 13, 2022 at 5:27
