Grove is a system for wiring up sensor and control modules using standardized connectors and cables. It makes it easy to hook up any of the 100s of available Grove modules to a microprocessor system without a messy tangle of wires. Each module provides a single function, such as sensing temperature or driving an LCD.
All kit parts have their name at the bottom of each part.
This is the adapter for connecting Grove modules to a 96Boards baseboard. It provides 18 Grove connectors, an Arduino compatible shield socket, and an ATMEGA328P microcontroller.
This Grove module is a simple momentary on/off button. When pressed, it pulls the data line up to VCC to output a HIGH signal. When released, the data line drops down to output LOW.
A simple touch sensor that behaves in a similar fashion to the button. Outputs high when touching the sensor with finger, and low otherwise.
An LED in Grove module form. Plug your favourite colour of LED into the socket, and it will glow brightly when the signal line is driven HIGH. Long part of the LED goes into the "+" and the short side goes into the "-".
This module is a piezo buzzer that will emit a tone when the data line is driven HIGH, or can be made to play notes and effects by connecting it to a pulse-width modulation (PWM) output.
This Grove module outputs an analog signal between 0V and VCC based on the position of the potentiometer. It has an angular range of 300 degrees.
This is a sound sensing module with a simple microphone. It can be used to detect the volume of sound in the area. The resistance of the sensor decreases as the level of sound increases.
This module detects the intensity of light shining on the sensor. The resistance of the sensor decreases as the amount of illumination increases.
The Grove servo is an actuator that is controlled by a PWM signal. The angle of the servo can be adjusted by changing the pulse width of the input PWM signal.
The Grove Relay has a normally-open SPST relay that is controlled by a single digital pin. It can be used to control power at much higher voltages that the Sensors mezzanine can handle. When the signal is LOW the relay is open. When it is driven HIGH the relay will close. Use it to control lights and equipment at up to 250V at 10 amps, but be careful when working with mains voltages.
This Grove module is a high accuracy temperature and humidity sensor.
This is a great little display module that is easy to control. It is a 16x2 character display with an RGB backlight controller so you can set it to whatever colour you like. This module is controlled using the I2C bus.
The 96Boards Sensors Mezzanine board included in this kit is an IO adapter for connecting sensors, actuators and other devices to any 96Boards baseboard. The Sensors mezzanine has exactly the same footprint as a standard size 96Boards Consumer Edition baseboard and fits perfectly on top. Sensors and other devices are connected to the board via 4 pin Grove connectors or via the Arduino compatible shield socket. Additionally, the Sensors mezzanine has a USB to UART adapter for accessing the 96Boards UART console.
