  • Page 24 1. Digital Ports There are six digital Grove ports. They are equivalent to digital pins 0 through 7 on the Seeeduino Lotus. Normally, they are used when reading a digital sensor that only outputs 0 or 1, or turning on or off an actuator. Some of these ports are multi-purpose and can function as PWM (pulse width modulation) outputs.
  • Page 25 2. Analog Input Ports There are three Grove ports for taking analog readings. Analog sensors can return readings ranging from 0 - 1024. Compared with digital sensors that only return 0 or 1, analog readings are more detailed and precise. 3.
  • Page 26 It generates the clock signals and sends commands to and/or receives data from all of the devices. In theory, each slave device has a unique hardware address and the master device can find slave devices via their addresses. I2C ports are generally used when the amount of data is overwhelming for simple digital and analog ports.
