TPX00031 Arduino Sensor Kit Base

<p>The Arduino Sensor Kit is designed for Makers who are beginning their journey into the world of electronics and programming. This kit teaches how to connect and program basic Grove modules, which include both sensors and actuators. Grove is an open-source, modular, and ready-to-use toolset that takes a building-block approach to assembling electronics.</p> <p>The kit includes a Base Shield to which various Grove modules can be connected individually or in combination to create exciting projects. All modules use a Grove connector, allowing quick connections to the Base Shield in just a few seconds. The Base Shield can be mounted on an Arduino UNO board and programmed using the Arduino IDE. Instructions for connecting and programming the different modules are included in the kit.</p> <p>Developed in collaboration with Seeed Studio, this kit provides an opportunity to build projects with minimal wiring and coding effort. It acts as a bridge to the world of Grove, offering a flexible way for Makers to expand their projects with other complex Grove modules. The kit includes access to an online platform with instructions for plugging, sketching, and playing with the different Grove modules.</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> The kit does not include the Arduino Uno board. For a complete set, check out the Sensor Kit Bundle, which includes the Arduino Sensor Kit and the Arduino Uno Rev 3 at a special price.</p> <strong>Tech Specs:</strong> <strong>HARDWARE:</strong> <ul> <li>1 Base Shield designed to fit on top of an Arduino UNO board, equipped with 16 Grove connectors, providing functionality to various pins: <ul> <li>7x digital connections</li> <li>4x analog connections</li> <li>4x I2C connections</li> <li>1x UART connection</li> </ul> </li> <li>10 Grove modules included: <ul> <li>The LED: A simple LED that can be turned ON or OFF, or dimmed.</li> <li>The Button: A pushbutton that can be in a HIGH or LOW state.</li> <li>The Potentiometer: A variable resistor that changes resistance when its knob is turned.</li> <li>The Buzzer: A piezo speaker used to produce binary sounds.</li> <li>The Light Sensor: A photoresistor that reads light intensity.</li> <li>The Sound Sensor: A tiny microphone that measures sound vibrations.</li> <li>The Air Pressure Sensor: Reads air pressure using the I2C protocol.</li> <li>The Temperature Sensor: Reads temperature and humidity simultaneously.</li> <li>The Accelerometer: A sensor used for orientation and movement detection.</li> <li>The OLED Screen: A screen that displays values or messages.</li> </ul> </li> <li>6 Grove cables: Allow easy connection of modules to the Base Shield without soldering.</li> </ul> <strong>SOFTWARE:</strong> <p>The Arduino Sensor Kit Library serves as a wrapper containing links to other libraries related to certain modules like the accelerometer, air pressure sensor, temperature sensor, and OLED display.
