Pick devices to implement

List of sensors and boards Adrian and I have: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1trlmXzMLzL_iLvQ-bsrqUYC8K0sLrwIsUgQsCkSDo1o/edit?usp=sharing

I am also willing to contribute a dotstar and a Grove LCD Backlight driver. (Note: I cannot edit the spreadsheet.)

[mattetti]

@rakyll I added you to the doc. I have implemented most of the Grove LCD features for GoBot, sounds like something worth getting here too.

I'd like hop in with some moisture and whatever-I-can-get-my-hands-on sensors as part of my "distributed balcony growing helper sensors" project that I've never been able to continue with. Will see if they are(Grove) shipping to 3rd world countries..

[mattetti]

Hey @keremgocen that's awesome! Are you from Turkey? Seeestudio ships internationally from China, hopefully they ship to your place. Let us know if/when you get a device and we can coordinate the writing of the library.

Alternatively, there are local distributors such as http://www.robotistan.com/.

[keremgocen]

They are (local shops) usually not cheap or out of stock when you want to buy cool stuff. Or they put a text "chinese" where otherwise you'd expect reference documentation or links.

What's your take on this? Are you using something similar or connecting manually? I thought it could be useful as they have a discount for magpi subscribers.

If you don't think it's worth getting, i might just order individual sensors and get away with some soldering.

[rakyll]

@keremgocen individual sensors with jumper cables work pretty well. The connector kit is great for beginners who don't have much context about what GPIO pins they need use.

[keremgocen]

I'll pass on it then. That was just my week spot for electronics starter kits with discounts talking -pulls out a dusty soldering iron-

[mattetti]

I use the grovepi+ because I have a bunch of seedstudio adapters. I'm planning on writing a lib for it, but it will take some time (it's an i2c interface that interfaces with the IOs from the board.

Just when i thought i was out, they pulled me back [in]https://twitter.com/kerem_gocen/status/758588318879801344).

I could not stop myself from getting the base shield, alcohol sensor and a led bar v2.0(wink wink). And the moisture sensors as promised. Hoping to get some free time next!
