The kit comes with seven different components that work out-of-the-box with Particle hardware and let you focus on learning the basics. It\u2019s now available in Seeed Bazaar at an early bird price of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/Grove-Starter-Kit-for-Particle-Mesh-p-3038.html\">$29<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h1>What\u2019s in the box<\/h1>\n<p>The kit comes with a Grove Shield for Particle Mesh, a variety of analog sensors that are able to read environmental conditions and events, plus a few actuators that will help you experience what\u2019s going on in your code.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Working with Starter Kit requires <strong>no soldering<\/strong> and <strong>minimal wiring<\/strong>. Simply connect the kit\u2019s Grove Shield to your Particle Mesh board and use the included cables to connect the shield and the sensors and actuators that you want to use. It\u2019s a plug-and-play experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Analog sensors are able to measure an external event in the physical world and electronically express what is observed. For example, the light sensor in the kit is designed to measure the ambient light in a room and report back a value. And it doesn\u2019t just report if a light is on or off, it reports what level of light there is in your room.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the sensors in the kit behave in a similar manner. With the rotary angle sensor you\u2019ll be able to determine what angle the sensors knob is at. The ultrasonic range sensor you\u2019ll be able to measure the distance the sensor is from an object in the room. And, you can probably guess what the temperature and humidity sensor does\u2014it tells you the temperature and humidity of the location where the sensor is located.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table width=\"468\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\"><strong>Sensors<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"234\"><strong>Actuators<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"234\">Rotary angle sensor&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Temperature and humidity sensor<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Light sensor<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ultrasonic sensor<\/td>\n<td width=\"234\">Buzzer&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4 digit display<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Chainable RGB LED<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Getting all of this data from sensors about the environment is great, but it can be challenging to visualize. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve included a few actuators to help you get a sense (no pun intended) of what\u2019s going on between your sensors and your Particle Mesh device.<\/p>\n<h2>What you could build<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you want to learn about each sensor individually or combine them to make things like a weather station, light show, or digital tape measure, the Starter Kit is a great place to begin with Particle Mesh.
