How to use Grove Connectors with the ESP-WROVER-KIT-VB development board?

Internet of Things Asked on August 23, 2021

I am plug & play, non-soldering type.

As such, I love Grove Connectors.

Does anyone know of a non-soldering, preferably non-breadboard, way to use them with the ESP-WROVER-KIT-VB development board?

[Update] I never did figure out how to do this, and the only answerer hasn’t logged in for a long time. Does anyone know how? I like the ESP-WROVER-KIT-VB because it had an on board debugger (and display).

One Answer

I have some doubt I fully understand the question (as the answer seems too simple) but I'll try nonetheless.

Two options that came to mind right away:

  • Get a plain Grove I2C Hub with 4 ports or more, split a Grove cable on one end and attach individual jumper wires (similar to what I do here), plug those into the dev board.
  • Get a Grove Base Shield for e.g. NodeMCU, use male-to-female jumper wires to connect the MCU connectors on the shield with the dev board.

Update

Here's a quickly stitched together photo more clearly describing (I hope) the 2nd idea. You can use any Grove Base Shield; nothing to do with NodeMCU. You will be feeding Vin/GND and the 2 I2C lines into the connectors of shield from the dev board. The Grove connectors will never know whether they are feeding or being fed by NodeMCU or the dev board.
