We wanted to make a small project to track the folks that came into our lab.  Using some sensors we had for the Grove system, we connected them to the Raspberry Pi, along with a Raspberry Pi Camera, to add some security to our lab. We use an Ultrasound Sensor to detect if anyone has entered the room.  We...

In this project we use the GrovePi with the Grove LED, DHT, light and sound sensor and tweet the value live to the internet. You can use this example to make a live Sensor Twitter Feed powered by the Raspberry Pi and the GrovePi. This is a simple example to demonstrate how to use multiple Grove Sensors with GrovePi in your...

This project shows how to fade a LED with the raspberry pi.  We cover the hardware and software setup in which we connect the Grove Pi to a rotary angle sensor (a fancy name for a potentiometer).  The Raspberry Pi reads the analog value and dims or fades the PWM to the LED which sets the LED’s intensity.  The LED is dimmed using...

Introducing the Grove Pi for the Raspberry Pi. We got our hands on the Grove Starter Kit and it looks pretty awesome. Here’s a link to all the available modules on the Grove systems. The best part of the Grove system is that there’s only one type of wire to connect them all. So no more  fumbling over pieces of...

Grove Sensors for the Raspberry Pi: Officially supported and Tested These Grove modules have been tested by Dexter Industries and the GrovePi community and have examples available to try them out in our Github repository. Use them with our robots, GoPiGo, GrovePi or BrickPi! Grove – Button Grove – LED Socket Kit Grove – Switch(P) Grove – Light Sensor...

1.  What languages are supported by GrovePi? We officially support Python and Scratch, but there is no reason why it should not run in any other language. The community has already ported the GrovePi to other languages like C#, Go, NodeJS and Shell. You can check out the languages supported on Github here Github repository.  We’ll love to support more languages....

For a lot of projects you need a lot of I/O ports. The GrovePi has 15 I/O ports but even those may be less for some of the projects. The big advantage with the GrovePi is that you can use multiple GrovePi’s together with a small change in the firmware and software. We are releasing a script which should...

Raspberry Pi Projects for the GrovePi. Here we have a list of example projects that show just how easy it is to start a project with the Raspberry Pi.  These Raspberry Pi projects combine easy-to-use Grove sensors with the powerful Raspberry Pi. LED Blink This tutorial shows the simplest thing that you can do with the GrovePi: Blink a LED....
