Thank you a lot! There are a few things I did that I think kept the channel from growing faster, the biggest one is having lots of different interests / not focusing on a single content. I also should upload more frequently 🤷♂️ Stay tuned: resin 3D printer reviews on the next weeks! 😄
Thank you! ❤️ Well, that’s true: each video takes a lot of time 🤷♂️ Stick around because the next video is a review of the Elegoo Mars 3: a new high-res Resin 3D Printer. Actually, I will review a few 3D printers now!
thank you for steering me toward this kit. i think because i have 18 tuesdays to fill, this kit might not fill in the semester. the elegoo super starter kit might still be the direction i go in, despite being a way steeper learning curve for me. suerte con 'geek detour'!
Yeah! For any teacher there’s the challenge of finding the right difficulty/reward AND also match the schedule 😬 Good luck my friend! But I am pretty sure the Grove Kit will be helpful for you at some point. ¡Mil gracias! (Yo vivo en España 🇪🇸, pero mi idioma nativo és português 🇧🇷)
And there came Temu 😂 you can get or assemble a kit with even specific resistors etc. but I do like how you review this man I like the style in which you make videos 😂✌️
You know I really like your videos. Can I ask you to slow them down a bit? The screen that shows the conversions you move on so fast there is no time to pause it there. I paused immediately and had to scrub back to that screen. Not always easy to do on my iPad. Still, a good video I enjoyed very much.
Thank you David! I hope you keep watching my content, even though I agree: my videos are FAST. Actually, I personally talk quite slower than what you hear on my videos - and editing is relentless. BUT I have a channel to recommend to you (really, no joke, no judgment) - I love his content and I watch many of his videos even though it is too slow for MY personal taste: DroneBot Workshop th-cam.com/video/wIcC8-g9Lnw/w-d-xo.html
If you search for “LCD 16x2 i2c” you will see offers of LCDs with a module already soldered on its back - than you just need to figure out the cable. The module is extremely popular and standardized.
Have you tried all the sensors on the Arduino sensor kit? The DHT temp/humidity sensor on my kit does not give a reading. TH-camr Shotoku Tech found the same problem with his kit in a recent video.
Hi James! When I made the video, I got the Demonstration program that Seeed Studio installs on the “Grove Beginner’s Sensor Kit”, made a couple of necessary changes (the GPIO numbers that are different between both kits) and installed it on my Elegoo Uno R3 connected to the Arduino Sensor Kit - and in my memory everything worked fine… BUT I cannot trust my memory 🤷♂️ So, now I just got my kits from the boxes AND, surprise! On the Arduino Sensor Kit I get 0 and 0 most of the time and eventually weird values pop shortly, and back to Zeroes. On one of my Grove Beginner Sensor Kits (yeah; I bough a second one myself later, to have it all “original” without breaking apart) the temperature/humidity makes the Arduino Freeze… everything stops responding and I need to reset. Very weird! Thanks for the shout out!
I just bought one of these kits, I love it. Can anyone advise on how to cut out the individual sensors/mini-pcbs without damaging anything? Do they just twist off? Or do you need to cut our somehow? Thanks.
Do you have a 3D Printer? Those side-cutter pliers that we use to cut filament help a lot. Any side cutting plier would do, even nail cutting side pliers. Cut on the lateral connections (with it turned off, otherwise you can short things). It is possible to break them apart by hand too, being careful and going back and forth.
Hey ótimo video! Trabalhei com sua mãe Evany por 3 anos, e nos tornamos grandes amigos! Na época eu era analista de suporte para o presidente da Abbott e ela sempre falava de você, e você me tornou uma inspiração para me tornar programador. Atualmente trabalho com desenvolvimento para CX Oracle. Grande abraço e ganhou um seguidor!
Que legal Leonardo! Puxa, espero que esteja curtindo programar! 🤣 Você já deu uma fuçada nos Arduinos? Por diversão - não tem nada a ver com desenvolvimento “enterprise” - mas é bem legal se você curte eletrônica também. Bem-vindo e um abraço!!
@@GeekDetour somente na época da faculdade, porem tenho um filho de 8 anos que quer "criar" coisas eletronicas e automatizadas, daí comentei com ele sobre arduino e o que podemos fazer, ele se animou. Vou me aprofundar no assunto. A propósito esse Kit encontro no Brazil tbm? Abraços
Teria que procurar! Mas a maior barreira do Grove Kit e do Arduino Sensor Kit é que o material desses Kits está só em inglês - diferente do Arduino Starter Kit que tinha em vários outros idiomas. Estes dois kits aqui acho que você encontra fácil no Brasil - mas é “normal”, de colocar os cabinhos todos na protoboard (eu gosto, ha ha). Você vai ter que ajudá-lo th-cam.com/video/uzr-jrLU3EU/w-d-xo.html
The board in the center of the Grove Beginner Kit is basically an Arduino Uno board (everything is more miniaturized and pushed down to the edges, but it’s all there). You can follow and execute 98% of the Arduino Tutorials you can find on TH-cam using the Grove Beginner Kit if you separate it’s center board from the sensors around. You might be thinking: what’s the “2%” difference? The only difference I found so far is that the Grove Uno Board is powered by a micro USB connector - the regular Arduino Uno R3 boards have a “printer like” USB Jack and also has a power Jack that you can push 9V (it has a voltage regulator on the board that will step it down to 5V). The Grove board doesn’t have this 9V Jack and regulator. Thats the only “drawback” I see (and as I said, for most of the projects that doesn’t make any difference). In terms of programming capabilities, it is really the same thing. The Microcontroller is exactly the same.
I don’t see why not. The Grove Starter Kit’s board has all the same pins as a regular Arduino Uno boards. BUT, you will probably connect it to the side connectors, instead of the Grove connectors. All the SDCard readers I found use SPI port, that use 6 wires, look: create.arduino.cc/projecthub/electropeak/sd-card-module-with-arduino-how-to-read-write-data-37f390 So, sure, it will work. But it won’t be as pretty as other projects that would work by connecting using grove cables.
Oh, sure, I have ESP32, STM32, ESP8266, Arduino Micro (ATmega32U4), and a few more obscure microcontrollers that I bought by impulse on AliExpress… I honestly don’t believe I’LL have lifetime to explore half of them 😄 I used PlatformIO only to compile Marlin Firmware… But for my Arduino Projects I am still stuck to Arduino IDE - at least for me the amount of resources, examples, tutorials… is more abundant.
I'm actually braindead the school told us to buy either the beginner or the sensor they said if you bought the sensor it would be better but it's way more expensive and there is an OLED panel which is better than the LCD but on mblock the application we use to program the OLED block doesn't work so I can't use it so basically I'm an idiot
Hey Julian. Did you buy the Grove Beginner kit? It is practically identical to the Arduino Sensor kit (and both use the same OLED display). You need to calm down, step back for a few hours and start again. The exercises your are seeing in school for these kits are very basic - but you need to pay attention to follow the instructions correctly, otherwise things might not work. I hope you can see it again with fresh eyes and make it work. If it is not working, it means you have something to learn. Good luck! 👍🍀
Ha ha. Well, you don’t need to choose 😜 I play with all of them. I have a a few projects that used ESP32, I used a lot of arduinos… Then you have “convenience boards”, like, Arduino Nano + NRF24L01 in the same board… so, you don’t need to pick one and only one 😁

You're the only electrical TH-camr that explains stuff in detail. Great video! 🙂 👍
Oh, thank you! I appreciate! 🤗 There are SO MANY amazing channels with great in-depth videos, here is one:
th-cam.com/users/Dronebotworkshop1
The only one! Are you sure??
I have to say
This is the most underrated channel on TH-cam
Thank you a lot! There are a few things I did that I think kept the channel from growing faster, the biggest one is having lots of different interests / not focusing on a single content. I also should upload more frequently 🤷♂️
Stay tuned: resin 3D printer reviews on the next weeks! 😄
Ojh Yeah I am waiting
Yeah Just one suggestion, plz be a bit more consistent rest is perfect.
Most underrated channel on TH-cam 🔥
Ha ha, thank you! Loved it! 🥰❤️
I can't believe you only have 60k subs. This channel is so underrated! Keep on the epic content on mate!
Thank you! Absolutely, lots of videos in the pipeline! 😁
95k now 👍
The quality of the videos man...Even tho u have a small channel ,you put so much into it . Pls keep it going!
Thank you! ❤️ Well, that’s true: each video takes a lot of time 🤷♂️ Stick around because the next video is a review of the Elegoo Mars 3: a new high-res Resin 3D Printer. Actually, I will review a few 3D printers now!
Great video, colors, speed, narration, great explained, amazing! 💪💪👏👏👍👍👍
WOW! 🤯 I almost had a heart attack here ! Thanks ❤️ If only I could produce them twice as fast… life would be better 💰🤣
Subscribed! Your movie type delivery of the content is so engaging and fun, thank you!
Thank you so much! The drawback is that each video takes an eternity to get done 🤣🤷♂️ Welcome to the channel!
@@GeekDetour I totally understand, dont stress out :) good luck

Hey, thanks! It means a lot to me ❤️
Another well done video. Great intro. Great tips and intro to these fairly new kits.
Thank you!!! This is a beautiful Kit - but sure it is even more fun when you mix it to a bigger box of sensors and modules 😁

Yes sir I have completed all project and started creating new on my own
Amazing and beautiful kit
Make more videos like this 👌
What I2C module do you recommend for the lcd?
If you search for “LCD 16x2 i2c” you will see offers of LCDs with a module already soldered on its back - than you just need to figure out the cable. The module is extremely popular and standardized.

Thank you so much! On this one I made an effort to NOT include boring details 🤣 Let’s see how it goes 🤞

Does the grove beginner kit come with a arduino uno built into it ?
The board in the center of the Grove Beginner Kit is basically an Arduino Uno board (everything is more miniaturized and pushed down to the edges, but it’s all there). You can follow and execute 98% of the Arduino Tutorials you can find on TH-cam using the Grove Beginner Kit if you separate it’s center board from the sensors around.

In terms of programming capabilities, it is really the same thing. The Microcontroller is exactly the same.
@@GeekDetour ok thank you that comment really helped a lot thanks for taking the time to right that long comment
Hey, my pleasure! Arduino kits are super fun, enjoy!
Been having nothing but trouble trying to program this board
Really? This is odd - all the sketches I did so far worked as easy as any other Arduino board. What type of problems you had? I am super curious! 🤔
Can you use a SD card adapter with the Grove starter kit
I don’t see why not. The Grove Starter Kit’s board has all the same pins as a regular Arduino Uno boards. BUT, you will probably connect it to the side connectors, instead of the Grove connectors. All the SDCard readers I found use SPI port, that use 6 wires, look:
create.arduino.cc/projecthub/electropeak/sd-card-module-with-arduino-how-to-read-write-data-37f390
So, sure, it will work. But it won’t be as pretty as other projects that would work by connecting using grove cables.
2:06 Maybe the Arduino Uno R4 board (if they make one) will look like this and have Grove connectors.
It would be nice! The Grove connectors are very convenient - if more kits use it, the price of the cables will drop.
Great channel and excellent videos! saludos!
Thank you so much! 🤗 Un gran abrazo desde Madrid 🇪🇸
Nice video 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍 Oh, good luck on your brand new channel! Remember: it is a marathon, not a sprint!
do a vid for how to program arduino from mobile device plz
Hey, it is definitely possible! Watch: th-cam.com/video/YgK2l6xdmbE/w-d-xo.html
Ok thanks
Great
Thanks!
Let me guess, you don't use platformio. Change to vs code platformio. It has a debugger and you can use different boards like esp32.
Oh, sure, I have ESP32, STM32, ESP8266, Arduino Micro (ATmega32U4), and a few more obscure microcontrollers that I bought by impulse on AliExpress… I honestly don’t believe I’LL have lifetime to explore half of them 😄 I used PlatformIO only to compile Marlin Firmware… But for my Arduino Projects I am still stuck to Arduino IDE - at least for me the amount of resources, examples, tutorials… is more abundant.
Man amazing
Thank you SO MUCH! 😄
