## **Modular Robotics (Dexter Industries) GrovePi EDIT** [](https://dexterind.github.io/GrovePi) [](LICENSE)
|
|
|
|
<!-- Remember to add https://mit-license.org/ of our own -->
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Edited to work with the new raspberry pi os based on debian 12.
|
|
Quick install script:
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -kL https://git.pixelhosting.nl/Blackwhitebear8/grovepi/raw/branch/main/installer.sh | bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The GrovePi is an open-source platform for connecting Grove Sensors to the Rasberry Pi. Create IoT (Internet of Things) devices and inventions without the need of soldering!
|
|
|
|
Its official API is written in Python, but it can also be interfaced with in other languages such as C, C#, Go and NodeJS. These other variations of the same library came from our contributors.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
In order to quick install the `GrovePi` repository, open up a terminal and type the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -kL dexterindustries.com/update_grovepi | bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The same command can be used for updating the `GrovePi` to the latest version. For more details on how you can install/update your `GrovePi`, please check this [README](Script/README.md).
|
|
|
|
To install into a virtual environment, first active your virtualenv and type the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -kL dexterindustries.com/update_grovepi | bash -s -- --user-local --bypass-gui-installation
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To flash the latest firmware to the GrovePi, run
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /home/pi/Dexter/GrovePi/Firmware
|
|
bash firmware_update.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, import the `grovepi` module and start playing with it. Its documentation can be found [here](https://dexterind.github.io/GrovePi).
|
|
|
|
The old guide on getting started with the GrovePi can be found [here](http://www.dexterindustries.com/GrovePi/get-started-with-the-grovepi/). It can still prove to be useful if you're unsure how the GrovePi has to be stacked on top of the Raspberry Pi, although it should be pretty obvious.
|
|
|
|
## Support
|
|
|
|
### Raspberry Pi Compatibility
|
|
The GrovePi is compatible with the Raspberry Pi models A, A+, B, B+, 2, and B3, B3+, A3+, and 4B.
|
|
|
|
### Documentation
|
|
There is [extensive documentation](https://dexterind.github.io/GrovePi) available
|
|
|
|
### Scratch Support
|
|
Once you've done the above command, you can install Scratch support if you want it. This step is optional.
|
|
```
|
|
sudo bash /home/pi/Dexter/GrovePi/Script/install_scratch.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your SD card has Scratch 2.0 installed on it, then this will install GrovePi support for it.
|
|
GrovePi integration for Scratch 1.4 is also getting installed.
|
|
|
|
### Want to use a sensor not in the library yet?
|
|
Ask us in the [forums](http://forum.dexterindustries.com/c/grovepi). Want to use the GrovePi in a language not currently supported? [Ask and we will help](http://forum.dexterindustries.com/c/grovepi).
|
|
|
|
### Programming the GrovePi
|
|
The GrovePi can be programmed in Python, C, C#, Go, and NodeJS on the Raspberry Pi. Simply start with one of our [example projects](http://www.dexterindustries.com/GrovePi/projects-for-the-raspberry-pi/) or [example code](https://github.com/DexterInd/GrovePi/tree/master/Software).
|
|
The GrovePi uses an Arduino to interface between the Raspberry Pi and the Grove Sensors, and comes programmed with a standard firmware. The firmware can be rewritten from the Raspberry Pi.
|
|
