There are three mounting holes can perfect match all version of Raspberry Pi. Camera cable outlet hole. It also improves the voltage level converting sub circuits.
7 digital Ports
3 analoge Ports
3 I2C ports
1 Serial port connect to GrovePi
1 Serial port connect to Raspberry Pi
Grove header Vcc output Voltage: 5Vdc
Welcome to the Quickstart Guide to the GrovePi+.
If you want to know more about how it works, you can find all the design files in the designer's Github Repository.
First, mount your GrovePi on the Raspberry Pi. The GrovePi slides over top of the Raspberry Pi as shown in the picture below.
Ensure that the pins are properly aligned when stacking the GrovePi.
Next we will install the software on the Raspberry Pi. There are two options for installation:
You can use our BrickPi Image.
Use your own image. If you already have your own flavor of linux running on the Raspberry Pi, you can use our bash script to setup for the GrovePi.
Using the BrickPi Image
Download the Brick Pi Image and install the image on your SD card. Here is the link to the BrickPi Page with steps to configure the SD card. You will need a minimum of 4GB SD Card for this installation.
Clone the Github repository at an appropriate location in Raspbian
Run the bash script in the Scripts folder to configure the Raspbian. Here is the tutorial for setting up with the Script.
Restart your Raspberry Pi.
Configuring your own image
Clone the Github repository at an appropriate location
Run the bash script in the Scripts folder to configure the Raspbian. here is the tutorial for setting up with the Script.
Restart the Raspberry Pi and start using the Grove Pi.
Once you have your Raspberry Pi configured to work with the GrovePi, it’s time to see it in action.
We have developed three simple projects to illustrate how the GrovePi works.
