What is a Grove Connector?
The way we have been wiring I2C connections before just didn't work
for large projects. Basically, we used to put the I2C bus to screw
terminals or snap down connectors and then ran wires to each
device. This would not work for complex projects. Because of this,
we moved to Grove connectors.
There are dozens of Grove I2C sensors out now. Many different
kinds of cables and I2C Hubs.
We quickly found the connectors and their respective cables very
useful. With the large selection of Grove I2C devices available, we
decided to include a Grove connector on all our future I2C boards.
The white connectors on the Grove Pro Mini LP board picture at the
top are Grove connectors for easy, non-soldered connections to the
I2C bus and for data inputs. The picture below shows
the SunRover robot built using Grove connectors for
the 8 different I2C busses in the robot. A Grove OLED display is shown underneath the picture.
Connecting to Grove Connectors
There are a number of Grove shields and Hats for Raspberry
Pi and Arduino devices.
Grove I2C Connectors are keyed so they can not be plugged
in incorrectly. Below is the I2CMux board hooked up with
both Grove and non-Grove devices.
