Grove Shield for micro:bit v2.0

The Grove Shield for micro:bit v2.0 is a plug-and-play extension board that connects the micro:bit microcontroller to the Grove module ecosystem. It provides four Grove ports covering different interfaces to expand project capabilities. An on-board USB port supplies power to the micro:bit directly through the shield. Edge connectors support crocodile clips and 4mm banana plugs for additional wiring options.

Classroom learners and rapid prototypers

This shield suits educators, students, and makers who want to attach Grove sensors, actuators, or displays to a micro:bit without soldering or jumper wires. The reserved pinouts for P0, P1, and P2 enable touch-based projects such as a fruit piano. Builders who need more than four simultaneous Grove connections or require interfaces not covered by the four onboard ports should look at other expansion methods.

Four Grove ports and onboard USB power

The decisive specification is the four Grove connectors combined with the integrated micro USB power input. This layout determines how many Grove modules can be used at once and whether the micro:bit can be powered through the shield instead of its own connector. Verify that your project needs no more than four Grove devices and that USB power from the shield meets your supply requirements.
