DC Voltage detection Sensor (DC Volt sensor)
This module is based on a resistive divider principle design, make the interface terminal input voltage reduced 5 times, Arduino analog input voltage up to 5V, then the input voltage of the voltage detection module can not be greater than 5V × 5 = 25V (if used 3.3V system, the input voltage can not exceed 3.3Vx5 = 16.5V). Because Arduino AVR chips used in 10 AD, so the resolution of the analog module is 0.00489V (5V / 1023), so the voltage detection module detects a minimum input voltage of 0.00489V × 5 = 0.02445V.

Parameters

  • Voltage input range: DC0-25V
  • Voltage detection range: DC0.02445V-25V
  • Voltage analog resolution: 0.00489V

Wiring the DC input connector
   
  • the positive terminal connected to VCC,
  • the negative  connected to GND
  • Output interface:
  • "+" is 5V or 3.3V

GY-31 TCS230 colour recognition sensor module (colour recognition sensor)
The TCS230 color detector measures three primary colors Red, Green and Blue and also has a separate white light detector. Since any color can be created from different levels of these primary colors, you can find out the color composition of a light source.

The four LEDs on the breakout board are there to illuminate the subject with an even light source, making measurement more reliable.

You can use the TCS230 where you need to take action based on the color of an object. The device does react to infrared so may need an infrared filter or use the device in an enclosed space.

Features

  • Chip: TCS230
  • Input voltage: DC 3V-5V
  • Output frequency voltage: 0 ~ 5V
  • Use bright white LED lights
  • Can be connected directly with Microcontroller
  • Static detection of the measured object color

XBEE Shield with RS485 for Arduino UNO (XBEE RS485 Arduino UNO)
Arduino is an open-source controller board, popular among electronic enthusiasts for making interactive projects. But for those who are not familiar with electronics, adding circuits to Arduino may be tricky. That’s why keyestudio develop this XBEE sensor shield. It can help you connect most sensor modules to Arduino pretty easily. The shield extends the digital and analog interfaces into 3PIN interface. It also comes with RS485 communication and XBEE Bluetooth module interface.

You can change the communication way via the jumper cap on the shield. If all the three jumpers are connected to APC, the shield will realize the XBEE Bluetooth communication. If all jumpers are connected to 485, realize the RS485 communication function.

Onboard also comes with a reset button, a D13 indicator, and some common communication pins of 2.54mm pin pitch, such as serial port, IIC, and SPI communication pins.

Besides, it also has two 2pin terminal blocks. One is VIN GND terminal block, used to supply the external power for the UNO R3 control board, with an input voltage of DC 7-12V. The other is the Servo_PWR terminal block, used for VCC voltage input/output. If not connecting the external voltage, supply 5V for the shield; if connecting the external voltage, VCC voltage is actually the external input voltage.


Features and specifications

  • Compatible with Arduino UNO R3.
  • Comes with 14 digital input/output pins.
  • Comes with 6 analog IO pins
  • Onboard comes with a digital port power terminal block
  • Comes with an external power input terminal block and a input contact pin ( power on the control board with DC 7-12V)
  • Comes with an RS485 interface.
  • Comes with a reset button
  • Comes with a D13 indicator
  • Comes with a XBEE Bluetooth interface
  • Can connect three jumper caps (APC and 485) to switch the XBEE Bluetooth communication or RS485 communication.
  • Comes with I2C, serial port and SPI communication pins
  • Onboard comes with a DC 3.3V output pin
  • Dimensions: 58.5mm x 57.5mm x 20mm

HAT - Grove Base for Raspberry Pi (RPi grove base HAT)
Today, the grove series of sensors, actuators, and displays have grown into a large family. More and more grove modules will join the whole Grove ecosystem in the future. We see the Grove helps hundreds of thousands of makers, engineers, teachers, students, and even artists to learn, to make, to create... Now we bring you the Grove Base Hat for Raspberry Pi to make the Grove module compatible with more platforms. In another word, we bring the Raspberry Pi the whole Grove System.




The Grove Base Hat for Raspberry Pi provides a Digital/Analog/I2C/PWM/UART port to meet all your needs. With the help of the build-in MCU, a 12-bit  8 channel ADC is also available for Raspberry Pi. Currently, more than 60 groves have supported the Grove Base Hat for Raspberry Pi.

Compared with Grove Pi , the Grove Base Hat for Raspberry Pi does not use the ATMEGA chip for data conversion, so it runs faster. We provide the Raspberry Pi driver for Grove Base Hat for Raspberry Pi. What's more, Grove Base Hat for Raspberry Pi is much more cost-effective. In other words, we lowered the threshold for using the grove series on the Raspberry Pi. We hope you like it, enjoy :D

Pinout:


  • GPIO:
    The same pinout as the raspberry pi.
     
  • PWM(pulse-width modulation):
    The Grove PWM Port connects to GPIO/BCM pin12(PWM0) and GPIO/BCM pin13(PWM1), which is the hardware PWM pin of Raspberry Pi, in addition, you can use all the GPIO pins as the soft PWM pin.
     
  • UART: 
    The Grove UART port connects to the GPIO14(UART0 TX) and GPIO15(UART0 RX). UART is commonly used on the Pi as a convenient way to control it over the GPIO or access the kernel boot messages from the serial console (enabled by default).It can also be used as a way to interface an Arduino, bootload ATmega, ESP8266, etc with your Pi.
     
  • Digital: 
    There are 6 digital Grove sockets in this board, normally the yellow wire(which connect to the top pin of the 4 pins Grove socket as) of Grove cable is the signal wire, so we name the digital Grove port D5/D16/D18/D22/D24/D26.
     
  • Analog: 
    As we know, there is no ADC in the Raspberry Pi, so it can not work with analog sensors directly. Now with the help of the build-in MCU STM32, the Grove base HAT can work as an external 12-bit ADC, which means you can use the analog sensor with your Raspberry Pi. Even more pleasing is that not one but four analog Grove sockets are available.
    The analog sensor inputs the analog voltage into the 12-bit ADC. After the ADC converts the analog data to digital data, it input the digital data to the Raspberry Pi through the I2C interface.
     
  • I2C: 
    There are three I2C ports available in this board, they all connect to the I2C pin of the raspberry directly. You can consider this part as an I2C hub. Most of Seeed's new grove modules have an I2C interface, you may find those I2C three ports are extremely useful.
     
  • SWD: We use the SWD port to burn the firmware to this hat. In addition, you can see 3 GPIO pins in this section, i.e., pin 9/pin 10/pin 11. Those three pins do not use by any Grove port, you are free to use them without worrying about pin conflicts.

Note:

  1. All the silkscreen layer pin number beside the Grove port is the BCM pin number. The difference between BCM pins and the physical pins please refer to here.
  2. Compared with hardware PWM, the software PWM isn't so accurate and will have trouble at high frequencies.
  3. The GPIO/BCM pin18 is also marked as PWM0. The GPIO/BCM 12 and the GPIO/BCM 18 share the same PWM channel, so they can't be set to different rates.
  4. The audio jack output also uses PWM 0 and PWM 1, so you can't have an audio output on that socket and use the PWMs at the same time.
