Arduino Unboxing: Arduino Sensor Kit vs Grove Beginner Kit

День тому

Should you buy the Grove Beginner Kit or the Arduino Sensor Kit? Easy Kits for Students AND Rapid Prototyping for Makers. I became a fan of the Grove System! Now, I just need to find a cheap supplier of "Grove Cables" 🤨

I just bought one of these kits, I love it. Can anyone advise on how to cut out the individual sensors/mini-pcbs without damaging anything? Do they just twist off? Or do you need to cut our somehow? Thanks.

@GeekDetour 3 місяці тому

Do you have a 3D Printer? Those side-cutter pliers that we use to cut filament help a lot. Any side cutting plier would do, even nail cutting side pliers. Cut on the lateral connections (with it turned off, otherwise you can short things). It is possible to break them apart by hand too, being careful and going back and forth.

@stevenlightfoot6479 3 місяці тому

What I2C module do you recommend for the lcd?

@GeekDetour 3 місяці тому

If you search for “LCD 16x2 i2c” you will see offers of LCDs with a module already soldered on its back - than you just need to figure out the cable. The module is extremely popular and standardized.

Have you tried all the sensors on the Arduino sensor kit? The DHT temp/humidity sensor on my kit does not give a reading. UKpostsr Shotoku Tech found the same problem with his kit in a recent video.

@GeekDetour 2 роки тому

Hi James! When I made the video, I got the Demonstration program that Seeed Studio installs on the “Grove Beginner’s Sensor Kit”, made a couple of necessary changes (the GPIO numbers that are different between both kits) and installed it on my Elegoo Uno R3 connected to the Arduino Sensor Kit - and in my memory everything worked fine… BUT I cannot trust my memory 🤷‍♂️ So, now I just got my kits from the boxes AND, surprise! On the Arduino Sensor Kit I get 0 and 0 most of the time and eventually weird values pop shortly, and back to Zeroes. On one of my Grove Beginner Sensor Kits (yeah; I bough a second one myself later, to have it all “original” without breaking apart) the temperature/humidity makes the Arduino Freeze… everything stops responding and I need to reset. Very weird! Thanks for the shout out!

@strykerror2719 2 роки тому

2:06 Maybe the Arduino Uno R4 board (if they make one) will look like this and have Grove connectors.

@GeekDetour 2 роки тому

It would be nice! The Grove connectors are very convenient - if more kits use it, the price of the cables will drop.

@Maruchipawa 2 роки тому

Can you use a SD card adapter with the Grove starter kit

@GeekDetour 2 роки тому

I don’t see why not. The Grove Starter Kit’s board has all the same pins as a regular Arduino Uno boards. BUT, you will probably connect it to the side connectors, instead of the Grove connectors. All the SDCard readers I found use SPI port, that use 6 wires, look: create.arduino.cc/projecthub/electropeak/sd-card-module-with-arduino-how-to-read-write-data-37f390 So, sure, it will work. But it won’t be as pretty as other projects that would work by connecting using grove cables.

You know I really like your videos. Can I ask you to slow them down a bit? The screen that shows the conversions you move on so fast there is no time to pause it there. I paused immediately and had to scrub back to that screen. Not always easy to do on my iPad. Still, a good video I enjoyed very much.

Thank you David! I hope you keep watching my content, even though I agree: my videos are FAST. Actually, I personally talk quite slower than what you hear on my videos - and editing is relentless.

@duller9430 2 роки тому

Does the grove beginner kit come with a arduino uno built into it ?

@GeekDetour 2 роки тому

The board in the center of the Grove Beginner Kit is basically an Arduino Uno board (everything is more miniaturized and pushed down to the edges, but it’s all there). You can follow and execute 98% of the Arduino Tutorials you can find on UKposts using the Grove Beginner Kit if you separate it’s center board from the sensors around. You might be thinking: what’s the “2%” difference? The only difference I found so far is that the Grove Uno Board is powered by a micro USB connector - the regular Arduino Uno R3 boards have a “printer like” USB Jack and also has a power Jack that you can push 9V (it has a voltage regulator on the board that will step it down to 5V). The Grove board doesn’t have this 9V Jack and regulator. Thats the only “drawback” I see (and as I said, for most of the projects that doesn’t make any difference). In terms of programming capabilities, it is really the same thing. The Microcontroller is exactly the same.

I'm actually braindead the school told us to buy either the beginner or the sensor they said if you bought the sensor it would be better but it's way more expensive and there is an OLED panel which is better than the LCD but on mblock the application we use to program the OLED block doesn't work so I can't use it so basically I'm an idiot

@GeekDetour 2 роки тому

Hey Julian. Did you buy the Grove Beginner kit? It is practically identical to the Arduino Sensor kit (and both use the same OLED display). You need to calm down, step back for a few hours and start again. The exercises your are seeing in school for these kits are very basic - but you need to pay attention to follow the instructions correctly, otherwise things might not work. I hope you can see it again with fresh eyes and make it work. If it is not working, it means you have something to learn. Good luck! 👍🍀
