Arduino Sensor Kit - Base [TPX00031]

This kit is very handy way to build your project ideas. I have purchased 2 already and I will buy another one as my projects keep getting bigger. Very handy and educational.

Does exactly like it says, basic sensor kit in neat breadboard package for learning Arduino, sketches are on Arduinos website I was through them all and integrating into custom sketches within 30 minutes. Cool package, no fuss! Get you one!!!

Wanting to learn about IoT, this is an excellent starter kit, and comes with good online instructions as well as the app to get you going.I was able to build an app using 4 of the sensors, pretty quickly, and put it in use

You do need the UNO R3 version. A good platform for teaching.

Good selection of Groove modules included. Very easy for beginner Arduino programmers since only need to import a single "wrapper" library to use more complex i2c sensors.Example programs are at sensorkit.arduino.cc where each module has a separate example. The examples describe how the module works, how to connect the module (if tabs removed), code and libraries used. The library references in particular are very good which is what makes the Arduino ecosystem a pleasure to use.My biggest complaint is that majority of the modules require you to use the Serial monitor (open a separate window) to see the results. This may have been done to reduce dependencies between the examples but it seems like an odd choice as the LED and OLED are relatively simple to use and could be introduced first.

Great

Not really worth it, but I guess the price is reasonable. I was looking for a more verbose introduction to systems programming and the Arduino but even coding my own "Sketches" from the examples, this entire kit is about 3 hours of content. If you copy and paste the code examples and gloss over some explanations or rabbit hole some issues, you can finish this kit's documentation in an hour or less. This may be a good thing for most people, if you just want to get in and get dirty and get out.I have not separated any of the modules from the Base Shield and I'm using an Uno R3 @ 5VDC. Readings are substantially off on anything Analog. Out of curiosity, I also decided to read from a random Analog port, and I was getting values from an analog port with nothing plugged into it. Tried to assign a device to that port and run 2 sensors at the same time, and the data seemed to "collide". Isolated the sensors and I am still getting erroneous data and ranges not to specifications. Temp, Humidity, pressure sensors say my room is 30 Celsius, and my "altitude" is negative. I suppose I could just calibrate the sensors, but there is no indication in the documentation that that would be necessary... and I feel it's not worth the time or effort because the rated range of values is stated as 0-1023, but the range I could achieve by manipulating the environment is 0-730 on the light meter, and the sound sensor is straight up making things up unless I deliberately tap the module (The pot accurately reads 0-1023).I ran each module independently after resetting the Arduino, programmed my own combined "sketch" of all of the modules, and even ran the sample sketches provided for the board, and all variants of code have the same issues.I'm going to dig deeper into the performance of these analog modules and see if maybe there's a short in the hardware or I'm just doing it wrong. I purchased a separate sensor kit of another brand, and I have an old Uno R1, so I'll be breaking out the breadboards and the OScope and maybe update my review if I find out what my problem is(No one ever does this, so I probably won't either...).

something is broken, either hardware or software examples.my first trip into arduino land is very disappointing.many years playing with Rpi and everything works perfectly there.
