Are Grove sensors compatible with the GoBus?

Hi hrh1818,

No, Grove modules are different. That said, you have a few options.

#1: if you are an advanced hacker, and you can find one of these, you can access the GoBus pins directly (via (Cpu.Pin)0x##, etc.) to get to the Grove pins--assuming the Grove modules have their pins mapped to the desired places.

#2: this could work too, for mapping Grove pins to the Arduino shield-style pins on Netduino:

Hi hrh1818

 

I use Grove modules & Netduinos (N2,N2P&N3W) for my projects and at a number of CodeClubs  I help run.

 

The grove kit & Netduinos have proved pretty robust, only 1 device has died in the last year and they have a pretty hard life.

 

Currently we have 30+ Netduinos which are used at 5 times a week for classes for middle & high school students.

 

I find the main consideration is supporting 3v3 & 5V sensors simultaneously on digital & analog ports.

 

For example I have some ultrasonic rangers (which need 5V) if I want to plug in some analog sensors (which need 3v3) at the same time I can't.

 

I have posted a wish on the SeeedStudio site suggesting spilt power supply for Analog & Digital ports
