GrovePi+ expansion board - 15 Grove ports for Raspberry Pi
This goes with it
Description
GrovePi+ – Raspberry Pi expansion board
GrovePi+ is an expansion board with 15 4-pin Grove interfaces that brings Grove sensors to the Raspberry Pi. It is the latest version, compatible with Raspberry Pi Model B/B+/A+/2/3/4.
This board enables the user-friendly and modular Grove system for the Raspberry Pi, eliminating the need for soldering or breadboards: connect your Grove sensors and start programming immediately. Grove is a user-friendly collection of hundreds of affordable plug-and-play modules that sense and control the physical world. Connecting Grove sensors to the Raspberry Pi brings your Pi into the physical world. With hundreds of sensors from the Grove families, the possibilities for interaction are endless.
There are three mounting holes that fit all versions of the Raspberry Pi perfectly.
Note: Raspberry Pi board not included.
Features
- Compatible with many development boards: Including Raspberry Pi Model B/B+/A+/2/3/4
- Faster SPI and UART connections with higher reliability
- Easier installation of camera cables and LCD cables
- Simplified firmware update procedures
