Grove Inventor Kit for micro:bit with 8 Modules

The Grove Inventor Kit for micro:bit is a comprehensive modular prototyping system designed to expand the capabilities of the BBC micro:bit for IoT (Internet of Things) and electronics projects. This standardised platform simplifies project assembly by eliminating the need for soldering or breadboards; simply connect the included Grove modules to the base shield and load your code.

The kit is built around the new Grove Shield for micro:bit v2.0, which interfaces directly with up to four Grove modules simultaneously (please note, a micro:bit board is not included). It features an integrated Micro USB connector, allowing you to power the micro:bit directly from the shield for consistent operation, which is essential for modules requiring higher input voltage.

Key Features & Contents

This all-in-one kit includes everything you need to start inventing:

• Grove Shield for micro:bit v2.0 – The central interface board.
• 8 Specially Selected Grove Modules – A Grove rotary angle sensor, speaker, ultrasonic ranger, light sensor, gesture sensor, 4-digit display, red LED, and a 1-metre waterproof LED strip with 30 LEDs.
• Full Connectivity Suite – A Micro USB cable, seven Grove connection cables, and ten alligator clip cables.
• Comprehensive Learning Materials – A well-documented user guide featuring 12 entertaining starter projects. All necessary software libraries and packages are available as free downloads.

With these components, you can build projects that measure distance and display it, play music controlled by gestures, or create a smart room guard. The Grove system’s modular nature, with hundreds of available sensors, actuators, and displays, offers vast potential to broaden your micro:bit's abilities far beyond the basics.
