Grove IoT Starter Kits Powered by Amazon Web Service (AWS) are four different kits that are designed for AWS to make IoT easier. Each kit consist of a Development Platform(main board) that can be connected to the cloud and a set of Grove modules. These Grove modules provide essential sensors and actuators for anyone interested in AWS IoT.
NOTE: AWS IoT and Development boards that comes with the kit has lots of features. The tutorial below cover the essential steps to connect the Development Platform to AWS IoT. Choose one of the four kits based on the Development Platform of your choice and familiarity.
Features
Out-of-the-box, plug and play Grove Modules, no breadboard or soldering work required.
Fully compliant with AWS’s services and AWS’s practices.
Step-by-step tutorials for developers and Makers for quicker prototyping.
Register for AWS account (if not already done) for experimenting with AWS IoT.
Read, learn and understand about the Development platform that comes with your kit. Link to the main board documentation is provided in kit user manual. See the individual kit section below.
The kit documentation provides How-Tos on setting up the development boards for connecting to AWS. Use this instruction to download necessary software and firmware for the board.
Explore the possibilities of using Grove Modules with the main board. A link to each Grove Modules documentation is provided in the kit documentation.
Seeeduino Cloud and Grove IoT Starter Kit Powered by AWS
Seeeduino Cloud is a microcontroller board based on Dragino WiFi IoT module HE and ATmega32u4. HE is a high performance, low cost 150M, 2.4G WiFi module which with an Open Source OpenWrt system inside. Seeeduino Cloud is also an Arduino Yun compatible board. The Grove IoT Starter Kit includes most frequently used sensors and actuators to turn your ideas into tangible applications with AWS Cloud computing.
Designed for expert makers, entrepreneurs, and industrial IoT companies, the Intel Edison module provides easier prototyping with a fully open source hardware and software development environment. It supports Wi-Fi and BLE 4.0 connectivity. This kit contains eleven, selected Grove sensors and actuators. It can be used to track indoor environment as well as to create smart-home applications.
Beaglebone green (BBG) is a joint effort by BeagleBoard.org and Seeed Studio. It is involved from the open source hardware design of BeagleBone Black and has added two Grove connectors. The kit contains the new BBG, 10 Grove modules as well as step-by-step tutorials to hook them up quickly.
LinkIt ONE development board is an open source, high-performance development board for prototyping wearable and IoT devices. It is based on MT2502 (ARM7EJ-S™ MCU) and integrates GSM, GPRS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth BR/EDR/BLE, GPS, Audio codec, and SD card connector on a single development board. The kit enables you to build up cloud computing connected projects that involve communications for smart cities, transportation and logistics.
Welcome to the new documentation system of Seeed Studio. We have made a lot of progress comparing to the old wiki system and will continue to improve it to make it more user friendly and helpful. The improvement can't be done without your kindly feedback. If you have any suggestions or findings, you are most welcome to submit the amended version as our contributor via Github or give us suggestions in the survey below, it would be more appreciated if you could leave your email so that we can reply to you. Happy Hacking!
