Description
micro:bit is a pocket-sized microcontroller designed for kids and beginners learning how to program, letting them easily bring ideas into DIY digital games, interactive projects and robotics. The Grove shield for micro:bit is a plug-and-play grove extension board for micro:bit, the shield acts as a bridge for micro:bit and our grove system, which provides hundreds of different grove modules including sensor, actuator, communication, display etc. that will broaden micro:bit’s ability in creating more projects easily and quickly.
As an extension board, the grove shield for micro:bit integrated 4 grove connectors on board and reserves extra 4 pin outs if users need more grove connector. Apart from that, we have also reserved some pinout that has special functions such as P0, P1, P2 that have touch function, so that you can build project like fruit piano. Or you can simple use crocodile clip to connect the pinout, just like what you can do on micro:bit. Thirdly, with the on-board micro USB interface, you can power micro:bit from the grove shield.
The Grove Shield for micro:bit v2.0 is the update version of Grove Shield for micro:bit . According to the feedback from our users, we made mechanical adjustments to the board, making it work more stable and more
pretty. The specific changes are as follows:
1- Change the micro:bit connector. In the new version,pins of the connector are hidden.
2- Move the electrical components from the back of the board to the front. So that we can avoid damage to components on the board due to friction with the table.
If you don’t know how to get started with this shield, have no idea which grove modules to use, don’t worry, we have already prepared a Grove Inventor Kit for micro:bit which contains this grove shield and other 8 groves that can let you getting getting started.
Features
4 Grove ports to cover different interfaces
Edge connectors for crocodile clip and 4mm banana plugs
On-board USB port to power up your micro:bit

AustraliaMicrobit and the Grove Shield
Overall experience was very good. This kit allows a pretty through experimentation with using the MicroBit. It is easy to connect all the parts and try coding to use a range of commonly useful sensors. The documentation from MicroBit and Microsoft is excellent. A good way to learn about microcontrollers and coding.

Pakronics have been amazing with providing exceptional advice and service.
AustraliaGrove kit review
Lightning quick shipping and the kit itself is very easy to use/has some great features, highly recommend for those wanting to augment the functionality of their microbit
AustraliaBest service and products
Thank you so much for helping choose and get this great gift for a family member’s birthday, even gift wrapped it for me. Thanks so much. Karin
AustraliaGrove Inventor Kit
I have found this kit a useful extension to the micro:bit's native features. It is accessible to many students because of the plug in nature of the accessories rather than using a bread board with wire cable connections and the sample code in the instruction manual.
