I was sent a review unit of Seeed Studio’s Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino<\/a><\/strong> to try out and give my honest opinion. So, here it is! (You can also buy from Amazon UK here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

What’s included?<\/h2>\n

As you can see in the picture above, the Beginner Kit is a large circuit board comprised of several smaller boards, connected by small “bridges” that can be cut with a knife or wire cutter to detach them from each other. This gives you a flexibility – leave everything connected as an integrated experience (useful for education where you don’t want to lose the bits while doing the basics) or cut them into the constituent parts (more useful for hobbyists with several projects in mind).<\/p>\n

The main Arduino board is a Seeeduino Lotus based on the ATMega320P chip. It is constructed in the normal Arduino shape, making it compatible with shields but it is dominated by 12 Grove System<\/a> connectors. Surrounding the Lotus are 10 different sensor and input boards.<\/p>\n

The boards are as follows:<\/p>\n
