Grove Shield for Arduino Nano
Grove Shield for Arduino Nano provides you a simple way to connect with Arduino Nano.
This shield help you get rid of breadboard and jumper wires by pulling out the pins of the motherboard and expands to 8 Grove connectors.
Overview
This shield pulls out the pins of the motherboard and expands to 8 Grove connectors, including 3 Grove digital connectors, 3 Grove analog connectors, 1 Grove I2C connector, and 1 Grove UART connector.
With the help of the Grove system, you can connect hundreds of Grove sensors, Grove actuators and Grove displays to the Arduino Nano with a simple plug.
V1.1 Support List:
- Arduino Nano
- Arduino Nano Every
- Arduino Nano 33 IoT*
- Arduino Nano 33 BLE*
- Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense*
*Attention:
To work with Arduino 33 serial boards, please switch the VCC power to 3.3V. If the VCC power supply is switched to 5V, the development board may be damaged!

Lets make a programmable guitar pedal, using all the power from the Arduino DUE board with 12 bits ADCs, DACs and RAM memory.
As a continuation from his previous Arduino BASIC interpreter project, Stefan Lenz wanted to take things a step further by recreating a home computer from the 1980s with an Arduino Due board and just a few other components. His system combines a 7" 800 x 480 TFT screen, an SD card reader acting as the disk, and a PS/2 port for connecting a keyboard. He began by mounting the TFT display shield to the Arduino by slotting it in place and inserting an SD card to function as the external disk since floppy drives have long since disappeared and would be far too unwieldy. After soldering some additional wires to the SPI and I2C bus pins, a level shifter was attached to two digital pins that serve as the data and clock lines for the external PS/2 socket. Most of the “magic” in this project comes from the programming which handles everything from reading inputs to showing graphics on the LCD and even interfacing with other peripherals over either I2C or SPI. All of the code needed for this retro home computer can be found here in Lenz’s tinybasic repository, which contains a plethora of example projects and demonstrations that can be run/modified.
