Staff Pick – Mixer Pack V2
We love kiss – keep it simple stupid. Mixer is a group of Grove compatible modules designed for quickly building functional prototypes. They are tiny, colorful modules that are accessible and fun for children. You need to program to get started with Arduino and Grove, but Mixer is designed to be used out of the box.
The Mixer Pack consists of 13 mini modules, including Power, Logic, Sensors and Actuators. To make it fun and interactive, we designed Grove – Recorder, Grove – LED String Light and Grove – Mini Fan, which are more user-friendly to real world: you can touch, see, hear, speak and feel.

By connecting different input and output modules, you can flexibly apply the modules with a variety of control methods,such as the hand control, sound control and light control. You can easily learn the electronic knowledge, but also improve the practical ability through this kit. Let you jump quickly into the wonderful electronic information era with ease. The imagination is not limited to the 13 modules in Mixer, you can extend the usability by adding more Grove modules into the system.
We did lots of mixer workshops in China before we sell this kits: it turned out to be a great success in the first lesson of electronics given by parents to children. What’s the principle of the lights in the corridor which turns on automatically in the night when someone passes by? How to make a fan which is self-managed by the temperature? What’s the basic logic of NOT/AND/OR? How to record my message(i want some coke) for mom and remind her using led strip? You can explore the answers on your own. It comes with a cookbook teaching the basic applications step by step.

WS2812B Digital RGB LED Flexi-Strip 144 LED
I wish I hadn’t seen it. 144pcs of WS2812B RGB LED in 1 meter !!!!!!!!!
Despite the flexibility, full-color, high brightness, it runs at 5V, a quite low driving voltage, It provides great performance, with energy saving, high brightness, large scattering angle, good consistency, low power, long life and other advantages.
Two specs are available:
Embest BeagleBone Black Rev.C
BBB is back in stock with Rev C! Double flash with double love: 4GB build-in flash storage instead of 2GB. Debian, Angstrom, Ubuntu, Android…a variety of operation systems are available since it’s open hardware and community-supported, it’s all up to you.
Here are the main features of BBB rev c:

Grove – CO2 Sensor
The Grove – CO2 Sensor module is infrared CO2 sensor, with good selectivity, oxygen- dependent, long life, built-in temperature sensor, temperature compensation and UART output. It can be widely used in HVAC and indoor air quality monitoring, industrial process monitoring and security, agriculture and livestock production process monitoring etc.
Grove – Barometer (High-Accuracy)
This Grove – Barometer (High-Accuracy) Sensor features a HP206C high-accuracy chip to detect barometric pressure, altimeter and temperature. It can measure pressure ranging from 300mbar to 1200mbar, with a super high accuracy of 0.01mbar(0.1m) in ultra-high resolution mode.The chip only accepts 1.8V to 3.6V input voltage. However, with outer circuit added, this module becomes compatible with 3.3V and 5V. Therefore, it can be used on Arduino/Seeeduino or Seeeduino Stalker without modification.It is designed to be connected directly to a micro-controller via the I2C bus.

USB to UART 3.3V
USB To Uart 3V3 is a USB to serial adapter,Which is based on CH340, which is a USB bus convert chip. You can use this module to upload code or debug with MCU.
Other specs:
Grove – NFC Tag
Grove – NFC Tag is a highly-integrated Near Field Communication Tag module using I2C interface.
