Grove and Qwiic for Raspberry Pi

dec82: A wearable Raspberry Pi + Grove + Camera.

Only the button and the 0.96" OLED Display from the Grove System worked for me. I now understand that python support is missing for many Grove components, including ring, stick, and matrix. I have an ad on freelancer.com and pay $100 to anyone who adds them to open source.

button and 0.96" OLED Display worked. 👍

ring, stick, and matrix did not work 👎

Qwiic is an alternative that focuses on I2C, and its python support seems complete. The led stick is beautiful, this small OLED and this keypad, this other OLED, and this joystick.

Qwiic goodies. ⭐️

This great review from adafruit compares Grove, Qwiic, DFRobot’s Gravity, and more.

Next step: getting my hands on some Qwiic and preparing dec82 for validation outside the lab. 🚀
