Start prototyping with over 100 different Grove modules from SeeedStudio with LaunchPad & Energia<\/strong>\u00a0SeeedStudio offers over 100 different Grove sensors and actuators that can interact with the Grove Base BoosterPack for the TI LaunchPad Development Ecosystem. Energia example software & libraries are available for many of the Grove modules as well.<\/p>\n

The BoosterPack features full compatibility with the 40-pin BoosterPack pin out standard<\/strong>\u00a0Plugging in a Grove Module into the Grove Base BoosterPack will enable your Grove sensor or actuator to route the appropriate pins to an underlying LaunchPad. Since this BoosterPack adheres to the BoosterPack standard, each Grove connector will route the analog pins, digital pins & serial communication pins to the underlying LaunchPad.<\/p>\n

Have multiple Grove modules connected to your LaunchPad kit<\/strong>\u00a0Create a complete system of inputs & outputs by simply plugging in multiple Grove sensors and actuators to your LaunchPad.\"Grove_PluggedIN\"<\/a>The Grove Starter Kit<\/strong>\u00a0makes it easy to create a complete system when paired with a cloud-connected LaunchPad development kit. With the Grove Base BoosterPack, developers can plug up to 13 different Grove sensors & actuators quickly.\u00a0INCLUDES<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
