The Grove - Mixer Pack V2 is a stand-alone, Lego-like electronics kit that consists of 13 select Grove modules from the Grove System developed by Seeed Studio. These mini-modules can be used as building blocks to create electronic circuits and prototypes quite rapidly without necessarily using a Microcontroller board such as a Seeeduino or an Arduino.
The 13 Grove modules included are a combination of sensor modules, actuators, logic and power modules that are extremely easy to use and fun to work with. Within minutes, you can design new circuits and assemble functional prototypes.
By connecting different input and output modules, a variety of projects can be made. For example, a sound or a light sensor can be used as input to trigger an output such as lighting up of an LED or activating a small DC motor circuit. Logic gate modules can add more flexibility into the logic through which inputs will trigger outputs.
These modules are small and colorful bits of electronics, and so much fun to play with for both children and adults alike.
With the Grove - Mixer Pack V2, you can easily learn the basic concepts of electronics, and also improve your practical ability to apply these concepts. This is the perfect way to let yourself into the wonderful world of electronics by working on your very own interactive projects.

You will find the following on opening this Grove mixer pack:
Its pretty easy to build Grove circuits using the Grove modules in your Mixer Pack.
All circuits are built by combining the following four types of modules:
You can build a Grove circuit using the Grove Modules in 3 simple steps:
Follow these steps in order to build a Grove circuit using the Grove Modules:
You now have completed building your Grove circuit. Turn back ON the ON/OFF switch on the Grove - DC Jack Power module now and watch your circuit come alive!
The logic gate modules can be used to enhance the logic based on which an input module or a set of input modules can be used to trigger a desired output. They are typically placed between the input module and the power module in a Grove circuit.
There are three types of Logic Gate Modules:
This is the simplest of all logic gate modules and connects to one input module. It simply takes the signal generated by an input module and inverts it. A HIGH signal from an input module is converted to a LOW signal. A LOW signal from the input module is converted to a HIGH signal going towards the output module.
Using Grove - NOT logic gate
This module can connect to two input modules. Its purpose is to generate a HIGH signal when at least one of the two input modules connected to it supplies a HIGH signal. If the signal received from both the input modules is LOW, the OR gate supplies a LOW signal towards the output module.
Using Grove - OR logic gate
This module can connect to two input modules. Its purpose is to generate a HIGH signal only when both of the two input modules connected to it supply a HIGH signal. If the signal received from any of the two input modules is LOW, the AND gate supplies a LOW signal towards the output module.
Using Grove - AND logic gate
The Grove - DC Jack Power module powers all other modules from the Mixer Pack. A power source can be connected to it via a standard cylindrical DC plug. The power source can either be a 9V battery or any 5.5-20V wall adapter. The module can achieve a 2A continuous output current over a wide input supply range with excellent load and line regulation.
The Grove - Recorder module can record 8-20 secs of audio and play it back. The default recording time is 10 secs. The module uses non-volatile storage, which means that the recorded sound or audio is not lost when the module is switched off. It remains stored in the memory and when the module is switched back on, the same sound or audio can be played again. The module is very easy to control - just press the on-board push button to record and attach the speaker included in the pack to hear the playback.
The Grove - LED String Light module is essentially an LED driver for the LED string lights included in your mixer pack. Working voltage of the module is 3.3V/5V, but the string light requires an input of 12V. This module therefore uses a step up DC-DC Converter to provide the requisite voltage to light up the LED string lights. The accompanying LED string light is a 5 meters long RGB LED String light that you can use to light up a Christmas tree, or decorate a part of your home.
The Grove - Mini Fan module is a DC motor driver based on the AVR Atmega168 microcontroller. It can be used to run the DC motor that is included in your mixer pack. The soft-leaved fan also included in the pack can be attached to the motor make a fun project with kids. Being soft-leaved, the fan is completely safe and there is no chance of any injury. For advanced projects, the microcontroller on this module can also be re-programmed to run a servo motor as well.
The Grove - NOT module provides the function of a logical NOT gate. The NOT module has one input on the left and one output on the right. When the input signal to the module is HIGH, output is LOW. When the input signal to the module is LOW, output is HIGH.
The Grove - OR module provides the function of a logical OR gate. It has two inputs on the left and one output on the right. The output of this logical OR gate module turns to HIGH when it gets a HIGH signal on any of the two inputs.
The Grove - AND module provides the function of a logical AND gate. It has two inputs on the left and one output on the right. The output of this logical AND gate module turns to HIGH only when it gets a HIGH signal from both of the two inputs.
The Grove - Buzzer module has a piezo buzzer as the main component. The piezo can be connected to digital outputs, and will emit a tone when the output is HIGH. Alternatively, it can be connected to an analog pulse-width modulation output to generate various tones and effects.
The Grove - Light Sensor module incorporates a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR). Typically, the resistance of the light sensor will decrease when the ambient light intensity increases.
The Grove - Red LED module is similar to the Grove - LED module in that it houses an LED light source. In addition, it also has a potentiometer on-board to manage the input voltage to the LED and to adjust its brightness. The module also has mounting holes for the LED and the LED is not soldered onto the PCB. This means you can remove the Red LED that comes with the mixer pack and use any other LED of any other color or size as well. You can also use this module to add a pilot lamp for indicating power or signal presence for Arduino or Seeeduino based projects.
The Grove - Sound Sensor module is based on using a simple electret microphone microphone as a sound sensor. It can be used to detect the sound strength of the environment.
The Grove - Slide Potentiometer module incorporates a linear variable resistor with a total resistance of 10KΩ. When you move the lever from one side to the other, its output voltage will range from 0 V to the Vcc you apply. It connects to the other Grove modules through a standard 4-Pin Grove Cable. Three of the pins are connected to OUT (Pin 1), Vcc (Pin 3) and GND (Pin 4), while the fourth pin (Pin 2) is connected to a green indicator LED. The LED is used to visually represent the resistance change on the potentiometer.
The Grove - Button module included in this mixer pack is a newer version of the Grove - Button module from Seeed Studio. It contains one independent "momentary on/off" button. “Momentary" means that the button rebounds on its own after it is released. The button outputs a HIGH signal when pressed, and LOW when released. The button signals the SIG Pin of the Grove Interface while NC is not used at all.
