The Grove Base Kit is an RPi HAT aimed at Pi freshmen. It has less sensors than the Starter Kit but adds sensors for motion, moisture, and servo.
Based on its $9.90 Grove Base HAT for Raspberry Pi, the $39.90 kit is less than half the price of Seeed’s $89.90 GrovePi+ Starter Kit for Raspberry Pi, which is more expensive in part due to using Dexter Industries’ $30 Grove Pi+ add-on for the Raspberry Pi.
Grove Base Kit for Raspberry Pi
The Grove Base Kit for Raspberry Pi has 10 Grove sensors instead of 12 on Seeed’s GrovePi+ Starter Kit, but it also adds three sensors: Mini PIR motion sensor, moisture sensor, and servo. It lacks the Starter Kit’s sound, rotary angle, and button sensors, as well as the blue and green LEDs.
Grove Base HAT with Raspberry Pi
The Grove Base Kit targets new users with a demo, eight lessons, and a startup video. The kit’s Grove Base HAT is built around an STM32 MCU with a 12-bit 8-channel ADC plus 6x digital, 4x analog, 3x I2C, and single PWM and UART interfaces. The HAT board also offers GPIO pins that match up to the Raspberry Pi per the HAT spec.
