Does anyone have the Code for the sensors that come in the grove pi starter kit. I have the temp humidity working but I want to use all of them?
Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Here’s some project examples by Dexter Ind:
Hi @jarrells,
We have examples for almost all of the sensors of starter kit in Python here, If you wish to use some other language, there might not be examples for a few sensors and you can refer to the link @graykevinb has posted for other programming languages.

Thank you that helps. Now my question is about combining scripts.
I have them running separately,
the temp and humidy on the display
the rain notifier led blink light
the air quality sensor
Can I combine them, I have tried moving scripts and it always seems to be the top script that runs.
Also, how do I change Celcius to Farenhight in the temp/humidy script
Thanks for all of the help, I see a light at the end of the tunnel.
Hi @jarrells,
Can you post a screenshot of the combined code that you have tried and also its output.
Regarding the conversion of Celsius to Fahrenheit, I think you will be using this example, so in this example after line 53 add this line temp = (temp*1.8) + 32 to convert it to Fahrenheit, then temperature values will be in Fahrenheit.
Please let us know if this helps,
-Shoban
Ok First let me qualify my code
I really don’t understand how the code works, just tried putting them together by structure.

# This is a project that uses the Grove LED attached to an umbrella to remind
people to take their umbrella if it’s raining or going to rain that day.
You will need to modify the first few lines for this project work for you.
Fee free to modify the rest of the program to make it
behave the way you want it to.
Enter your zip code (or Postal Code) on the following line
(leave the name ‘zip’ as is, even if you have a postal code. )
zipcode = ‘34212’
once you have gotten an API Key from Wunderground (see tutorial),
pleave provide it here
Wunderground API Key
api_key = ‘c57eb776b61ce4c9’
if you wish to use two LEDs, provide the port number of the second LED
The second LED is the one that will indicate
if there’s no rain in the weather prediction
With two LEDs, one will always be on.
if you do not want a second LED, set this to -1
clearled = 8 print (“Air fresh”)
print("sensor_value =", sensor_value)
time.sleep(.5)
in case of rain, do you want the LED to blink
to catch your attention more?
set to True for blinking, set to False for a steady warning
BLINK = True
this is the delay between each polling of Wunderground.
It’s set to poll once every 5 minutes
you may prefer a faster polling.
the Wunderground free account does set a limit
DELAY = 5*60 # in seconds
Do you prefer to work in metric or imperial?
set METRIC to 1 to use the metric system
set METRIC to 0 to use imperial system
METRIC = 1
rain threshold: what’s your safety zone?
before you need an umbrella
if METRIC is set to 1, this will be in millimeters
if METRIC is set to 0, this will be in inches
RAIN_THRESHOLD = 1
Pin for the rain LED on the umbrella
rainled = 7

Thanks for the help
Hey @jarrells, just looking at this code, it looks like you’re on the right track. I think anyone with some basic python knowledge will be able to help you square the functions away to run in sequence. What you’ll need to do is rather than drop them all into the same document, you’ll need to take each sensor’s program, turn it into a function, and call it from below a “main” statement. This should be pretty easy to do with Python, but you might need to study up the basic structures of Python first, or find someone who can help you do this.
