Micro:bit Grove Inventor Kit - inventor's kit for children.

The brochure included in the kitcontains 12 sample designs.They are designed to familiarize you with the necessary modules of the Grove series in practice. Children can create an electronic measuring tape, intelligent RGB lighting or a simple alarm.

One of the most important elements of the set isShield Grove, which isa module extending the capabilities of the BBC micro:bit. The use of the extension board makes it very easy to use the connectors available on the BBC micro:bit.

Shield Grove

Shield Grove -a cap for connecting Grove sensors.

The Grove Inventor Kit includes8 modules, which are easily connected to the micro:bitby means of the appropriate cables included in the kit. Everything has been carefully thought out by the authors so that every beginner is able to cope with learning and tasks.Eachmodule is a separate board, which is equipped with the necessary electronic components. The set includes, among others, a display module, speaker, distance sensor and gesture sensor. The use of individual modulesdoes not require soldering, and all elementscan be used repeatedlyto build different projects.

The set was created thanks tocooperation between SeeedStudio and FORBOT.pl- a service known for publishing numerous educational materials (includingcourses in electronics and programming).Theset is also a hardware platform used inthe micro:bit course from FORBOT. Additional materials discuss the micro:bit platform, development environment and Grove modules included in the set. The next parts of the course from FORBOT are a wider discussion of the projects from the brochure included in the set.There are many interesting exercises and examples.

Course plan

L.p. Photo Description Number
1. BBC micro:bit

Micro:bit- a developmental plate for learning programming. It is based on a 32-bit processor with an ARM Cortex M0 core. It has among others: accelerometer, magnetometer, Bluetooth, LED display 5 x 5.

1
2. Nakładka Grove dla BBC micro:bit

Shield Grove for micro:bit V2-ShieldGrove enables easy connection of 4 modules from the Grove series to a micro:bit board. This allows for seamless communication between all components of the devices under construction.

1
3. potencjometr obrotowy

Grove rotation sensor (P)- there is a 10 kΩ potentiometer on the module. Changing the position of the knob (0-300°) causes a linear change of the output signal. The module can be used, for example, to control volume, speed or any other value.

1
4. Głośnik Grove

Grove loudspeaker- the loudspeaker can make various sounds, e.g. horn, doorbell or alarm. In addition, other non-standard sounds are also possible. The volume change function is carried out by a potentiometer on the module.

1
5. Czujnik odległości

Grove ultrasonic rangefinder. This sensor sends ultrasound. Based on whether and when the signal returns to the sensor, you can measure the distance between the sensor and an obstacle

1
6. Czujnik światła Grove

Grove light sensor- this module allows to measure the light intensity. The sensor function uses a phototransistor. Depending on how much light is detected, it is possible to control various system parameters (e.g. volume of sounds or speed of diodes flashing).

1
7. Pasek LED WS2813

Waterproof RGB diode tape WS2812 Grove- this is a tape of digitally controlled RGB diodes, i.e. the ones that can shine in different colors. The tape is waterproof, so you can use it for example outside.

1
8. Czujnik gestów

Grove gesture sensor- the sensor is able to recognize 9 different gestures: up/down/left/right, backward/forward, left/right rotation and swiping. This module can be used to build many interesting devices such as a gesture-controlled sound player.

1
9. Przewód microUSB MicroUSB Cable- used to connect the BBC mmicro:bit minicomputer to a computer with a USB connector. 1
10. Przewód microUSB USB type A - microUSB- the cable will allow the module to communicate with our personal computer, from which we will program our minicomputer. The USB cable can also be used to power the board. 1
11. Wyświetlacz 4-cyfrowy

4x 7-segment display module- this module is designed to display 4 digits. It can be used to represent values such as time or distance.

1
12. czerwona dioda LED

Red LED- this is an ordinary light emitting diode (LED). Its maximum brightness can be adjusted with a built-in potentiometer.

1
13. Przewody krokodylkowe

Crocodile cables- allow simple connection of modules to micro:bit board pads.

10
14. Przewód Grove

Grove cables- these can be used to connect modules with a Grove connector with a base plate.

7
15. 2 x Baterie

Alkaline batteries AAA(R3), 1.5 V - are used forpower supply using the battery basket.

2
16. Koszyk na 2 baterie AAA 1,5 V

Basket for two AAA batterieswith cable and connector compatible with micro:bit board. This is the second way to power the board, battery power allows you to move our project to any place.

Question: Good day, I would like to buy a gift for my godson, who is 15 years old and for whom Lego is not a problem (two years ago I bought a set for a 16-year-old and he, at 14, put the set together without a problem). Hence the idea for a slightly different gift. However, I would ask for a hint as to whether it will be appropriate and if not then maybe something else? The assumption is to introduce the child to programming and that he will not be discouraged by it.
Answer: The given kit will be suitable. I can also offer a kit to build a robot based on Arduino with the course:
