Gravity: Starter Kit for Arduino
We have ✅ 2 available of the DF-KIT0111 in our Sydney warehouse. An extra 136 units available with a short lead time.
The Gravity Starter Kit for Arduino is a plug-and-play electronics toolkit designed for beginners and makers getting started with the Arduino platform. It includes a DFRduino UNO R3 microcontroller (fully compatible with Arduino UNO) along with 12 popular sensors and components from DFRobot's Gravity series.
With the included IO Expansion Shield, sensors connect directly to the board without jumper wires or a breadboard — each module uses a simple 3-pin connector and is clearly labelled on the back of the PCB. Building projects is as straightforward as stacking blocks.
Key Features
- Beginner-Friendly – No soldering or breadboarding required; plug-and-play connectivity via the IO Expansion Shield
- 12 Sensors & Components – LEDs, buttons, light sensor, sound sensor, rotation sensor, buzzer, PIR motion sensor, tilt sensor, infrared proximity sensor, and servo motor
- Comprehensive Tutorial – Step-by-step guide covering Arduino IDE setup, programming basics, circuit building, and hands-on projects from blinking an LED to building a fire alarm and weather station
- Gravity Series Compatibility – All modules use DFRobot's standardised 3-pin Gravity interface for easy identification and connection
- Arduino UNO Compatible – Works with any Arduino UNO-compatible board and shields
