GrovePi is an add-on board that plugs into the GPIO pins and allows you to use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/wiki\/GROVE_System\">Grove Sensors from SeeedStudio<\/a>. These are little modules with a cable and the GrovePi has lots of sockets into which you can plug the cable. I&#8217;d love to get my hands on one of these as I think it presents a great way to easily get the Pi interacting with the real world without a lot of messing about with breadboards and\/or Arduino boards.<\/p>\n<p>The GrovePi itself uses an Arduino chip and interface to work, but because it&#8217;s all mounted on the board I expect the interface to be pretty seamless. Documentation is going to be vital here! You can pre-order a GrovePi for $23.99 which I think is stunningly good value. Another thing I particularly like is that they&#8217;ve used a long-pin GPIO header meaning you can stack other boards on top of the GrovePi.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dexterindustries.com\/blog\/2014\/01\/01\/new-year-new-project-grovepi\/\">Read more here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/depot\/preorder-grovepi-p-1672.html\">pre-order here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dexter Industries (who previously developed BrickPi, a LEGO-Mindstorms interface board) are bringing out GrovePi.
