Hi I am new to this grovepi business, and I am wondering is there a way to know before buying the sensors which ones are digital, or analog, or i2c… etc.
Thank you!
Hi @newbrict,
What we can vouch is that all of our 4 sensors that we’ve developed are using the I2C interface. Here they are:
http://di-sensors.readthedocs.io/en/master/quickstart.html
They are pretty advanced, so you can a lot of stuff with them.
The other ones mostly come from https://www.seeedstudio.com/, so if you want to know more about a sensor, then you’ve got to search them there and see on what interface they are on.
Lastly, you can take a look on our repository and check the example programs. By checking those, you can see what interface a sensor is using, though it ain’t that hard to figure it out.
If a sensor is just reporting movement around, then you can bet they are digital, whereas if the sensor is a potentiometer, then you’re quite sure that’s an analog - and this goes on and on.
If there are other problems, please let us know. We’ll be at your service.
Thank you!

Okay thanks I guess I’ll look through the sample code.
Hello @newbrict
This is kinda cheating, but you can also take a look here:
Those are the sensors supported in Scratch.

Hello I have just started interfacing govepi with I2C sensor, you can have a look on different sensors on this link https://store.ncd.io/?fwp_product_type=environmental-sensors and know about them as mentioned in description.
Hope this will be much useful for you if you are still looking to gain knowledge about them before using it
