Nowadays, Arduino is one of the first easy-to-use electronic platforms that beginners use to learn new concepts and overcome their first electronic design challenges. Seeed Studio has produced a nice starter kit that reduces the learning curve of this process. Grove starter kit for Arduino is a modular electronic platform for quick prototyping. Basically, it includes one Arduino-Uno compatible base-shield, 10 modules, and one servo motor.
The first interesting aspect of this product is the kit’s enclosure. Each board/module fits in its own defined space, and wires and other components have gathered at the bottom of the box. This helps to keep your working table orderly and tidy. You won’t miss any board or component! Figure 1 and figure 2 show the enclosure and modules.
By performing a visual inspection, we can realize that the manufacturing/soldering quality of the modules, base-shield, cables, and components are good and have not been selected from low-quality materials. Figure 3 shows all kit materials/components in one picture.
