The Grove Beginner Kit board can support the use of a wide range of additional components that include sensors, actuators and displays. The devices themselves are often inexpensive, and can be obtained from a wide variety of suppliers. The Biomaker expansion kit (pack 2) includes a range of useful add-on sensing modules suitable for lab and field work.
