Product description: Grove Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico
Grovestarter kit designed forRaspberry Pi Pico.Grove is amodular systemused to create simple projects that use components based on the same interface. It will help you get started with your Raspberry Pi Pico quickly and comprehensively. This kit collects the most popular modules. It includes five sensors, five actuators, two LEDs, one LCD display, one Grove overlay. In addition, the kit includes detailed and comprehensive Micropython tutorials for each module. With the Grove Shield, you are able to connect all of these modules to the Pico. This will greatly reduce the difficulty of using the Raspberry Pi Pico for learning and prototyping projects, and help you get started withMicropythonquickly.
TheRaspberry Pi Picois not included in the kit, it can be purchased separately.
Features of the Grove Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi Pico
The manufacturer provides detailed tutorials for each module. Currently, the modules can only be programmed in Micropython, with Arduino programming coming soon. This means that with this kit you can choose the right programming language to quickly turn on LEDs, control a motor, servo, read the values of various sensors and display them on an LCD. Grove is a quick and easy prototyping system thatdoes not require solderingindividual components or using acontact board. The assembly method can be compared to stackingLEGO bricks. Compared to traditional electronics assembly methods, Grove makes this process much easier and faster.
Components of Grove Base Kit:
| L.p. | Picture | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1. |  |
Grove Temperature & Humidity Sensor Air temperature and humidity sensor DHT11 from Grove series. The output is a digital signal. Measuring range for temperature is from 0°Cto 50°C and humidity from 20 to 90% RH. |
| 2. |  |
Passive buzzer module allows to change sound tones by adjusting PWM frequency. The buzzer can be used as an alarm siren. The maximum volume is 80 dB. Power supply from 3 V to 5 V. |
| 3. |  |
This module from the Grove series is equipped with the LM358 chip. It detectslight intensity and reflects an analog voltage signal back to the Raspberry. The light range is between 1 lux and 350 lux. The supply voltage is 5 V. Communication is donethrough analog signal. |
| 4. |  |
LCD display module showing 2 rows of 16 characters each. It uses I2C interface for communication. |
| 5. |  |
The Grove Relay Module v1.2 allows you to control actuators by cutting off or applying power. It requires a 5V power supply and a digital control signal to work properly. |
| 6. |  |
Grove Mini PIR Motion Detector PIR type motion detector. The sensor interface is compatible with the Grove series. The detection of an object is digitally indicated by a high state on the SIG pin. The sensor has a range of 2 m. |
| 7. |  |
Micro type servo. Powered by voltage from the range: 4.8 V - 6 V. Speed: 0.12 s/60°. Torque: 1.8 kg*cm. |
| 8. |  |
RGB LED module withWS2813chip. Thanks toGroveconnector it is much easier to connect module with Base Shield overlay for Arduino or Raspberry Pi. |
| 9. |  |
Button module from Grove series. It has built-in tact-switch and pull-down resistor. Communication with microcontroller is done through digital signal. |
|
10. |
 |
Grove series module based on LM386 chip and electret microphone. It can be supplied with voltage from 4 V to 12 V. The output is an analog signal. |
| 11. |  |
Linear rotary potentiometer. Rotation range is 300°. It has a 4-pin Grove connector on the knob side. |
|
12. |
 |
Package containing 4 LEDs of different colors (red, green, blue and white) and a module equipped with a Grove connector. |
|
13. |
 |
Mini fan connected using Grove connectors |
|
14. |
 |
Grove Shield for Raspberry Pi Pico Grove shield for Raspberry Pi Pico. Converts GPIO connectors into Grove connectors. It allows you to create projects in a simpler way without soldering or using a contact board. |
Components are packaged separately and each has a Grove cable.
