Hardware
To do this project and start measuring distances, you need to use several hardware components, as listed below.
- A single-board microcontroller (the brain of your project)
- A distance sensor
And an extra component to connect the previous two:
- A Grove shield (used to connect sensors and microcontrollers without soldering)
The Grove System allows connecting the components without the need for soldering.
Grove is a modular, standardized connector prototyping system. Grove takes a building block approach to assembling electronics. Compared to the jumper or solder based system, it is easier to connect, experiment and build and simplifies the learning system.
