Grove is a modular electronic platform for quick prototyping. Every module has one function,
such as touch sensing, creating audio e ect and so on. Just plug the modules you need to the
base Arduino shield, then you are ready to test your idea buds.
This Grove - Starter Kit for Arduino is a perfect starter kit for Arduino begginers. It includes a
Base Shield which have many Grove connectors on board, twelve Grove modules that covers
most functions needed by a beginner and a very helpful user manual that can help get started
quickly.
You can buy if directly from Seeed Studio from here: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Grove-

Grove - LED is designed for the beginners of Arduino/Seeeduino to monitor controls from
digital ports. It can be mounted to the surface of your box or desk easily and used as pilot
lamp for power or signal. Its brightness can be adjust by potentiometer.

reset button. In the program below, the rst thing you do is to initialize pin 2 as an output pin
with pinMode( ) function in setup( ) routine.
The loop( ) routine runs over and over again, forever. In the main loop, you turn on or o LED
with digitalWrite( ) function and "pause" the program for three seconds with delay( ) function.
(1 sec is 1000 ms)
About LEDs:
Common leds have two pins. The positive end of a led (larger pin) is called anode, and the
negative end is called cathode.The Arduino uno board have a built-in LED on pin 13, but in
this tutorial we are going to be adding our own on digital pin 2.

The Grove- Buzzer module has a piezo buzzer as the main component. The piezo can be
connected to digital outputs, and will emit a tone when the output is HIGH. Alternatively, it advertisement
can be connected to an analog pulse-width modulation output to generate various tones and

Tutorials for Grove buzzer
Starter KIT From Seeed Studio by Ardumotive_com (/member/Ardumotive_com/) Follow
Uses Standard 4-pin Grove Cables to connect to other Grove modules such as - Grove Power
Modules and Grove - Base Shield
Tutorial updates can be found here: https://www.ardumotive.com/buzzer-en.html

(https://www.ardumotive.com/buzzer-en.html)
About the code:
The code is similar with the LED code. Now, try to use the tone() function:
tone(6, 1000); // Send 1KHz sound signal... and to stop the tone noTone(6);
How it works? It's simple, tone(6, 1000) sends a 1KHz sound signal to pin 6, delay(1000) pause
the program for one second and noTone(buzzer) stops the signal sound. The loop() routine
will make this run again and again making a short beeping sound.
About the buzzer:
A buzzer or beeper is an audio signalling device, which may be mechanical, electro-

mechanical, or piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include
alarm devices, timers, and con rmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.
Buzzers have pollarity, one pin is connected to signal and another (the smaller) to gnd.

Grove - Button is a momentary push button. It contains one independent "momentary on/o "
button. “Momentary” means that the button rebounds on its own after it is released. The
button outputs a HIGH signal when pressed, and LOW when released. The Sig marked on silk
layer stands for signal while NC stands for not used at all. There are two versions of this button
available as showed in the pictures. The only di erence is the direction of the Grove socket.
Features
Easy to use momentary ON/OFF button

The rotary angle sensor produces analog output between 0 and Vcc (5V DC with Seeeduino)
on its D1 connector. The D2 connector is not used. The angular range is 300 degrees with a
linear change in value. The resistance value is 10k ohms, perfect for Arduino use. This may also
be known as a “potentiometer ”. There is another product, Grove - Rotary Angle Sensor(P).
What does “P” mean? “P” is for “panel mount” in this product.It is the sister version of Grove -
Rotary Angle Sensor. They are identical except the Grove connecter is moved to the back so
that you can easily use it as a neat and wire-free human interface device.

This Grove enables you to set the color to whatever you like via the simple and concise Grove
interface. It takes I2C as communication method with your microcontroller. So number of pins
required for data exchange and backlight control shrinks from ~10 to 2, relieving IOs for other
challenging tasks. Besides, Grove - LCD RGB Backlight supports user-de ned characters. Want
to get a love heart or some other foreign characters? Just take advantage of this feature and
design it! This product is a replacement of Grove - Serial LCD. If you are looking for primitive
16x2 LCD modules, we have green yellow backlight version and blue backlight version on sale
also.

The Grove - Light sensor integrates a photo-resistor(light dependent resistor) to detect the advertisement
intensity of light. The resistance of photo-resistor decreases when the intensity of light
increases. A dual OpAmp chip LM358 on board produces voltage corresponding to intensity
of light(i.e. based on resistance value). The output signal is analog value, the brighter the light
is, the larger the value.
