Grove Mesh Kit - starter kit with nRF52840-MDK

Description

Starter kit with nRF52840-MDK evaluation board and Grove modules designed for the development of Mesh networks. The Grove Mesh Kit takes full advantage of the nRF52840 multi-protocol SoC capabilities by supporting Bluetooth Mesh and OpenThread Mesh networks. It allows developers to build IoT applications with mesh networking.

The kit includes the nRF52840 evaluation board equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 communication, support for Thread and Zigbee protocols. The board has a 2-port USB 2.0 HUB, a USB type C connector, an external QSPI memory and a 2.4 GHz chip in the form of a chip.

The expansion module is equipped with a connector that allows you to attach the nRF52840 board and 4 Grove connectors. The board also has a switch, an NFC antenna and a basket for an AA battery, so that the user can also create a portable Mesh device.

The set includes Grove modules with temperature, rotation, touch, light and sound sensors and a module with a button. Full documentation and dedicated guides are available on the project website.
