The Adafruit Grove and STEMMA QT FeatherWing brings Seeed Studio's Grove plug-and-play ecosystem to Adafruit Feather boards. With three analog/digital connectors, one UART connector, two I²C connectors, and a vertical STEMMA QT port, you can quickly connect a range of Grove sensors and modules to your Feather projects.
The FeatherWing plugs on top of any Feather board via standard headers. Grove connectors use a 4-pin 2 mm pitch system with power, ground, and two signal lines — just make sure to match the correct port type (analog, digital, UART, or I²C) to your Grove device.
Key Features
- 3× Analog/Digital Grove Connectors – For analog sensors, digital inputs/outputs, or PWM devices
- 1× UART Grove Connector – For serial communication devices
- 2× I²C Grove Connectors – For I²C sensors and modules
- 1× STEMMA QT / Qwiic Port – Vertical connector for an additional I²C device
- Compatible with All Feathers – Standard FeatherWing form factor
Ideal For
- Quickly prototyping with Grove sensors on Feather boards
- Bridging the Grove and Feather/STEMMA QT ecosystems
- Small IoT and sensor projects using plug-and-play connectors
Package Contents
- 1× Adafruit Grove and STEMMA QT FeatherWing (assembled)
- 2× 16-pin headers (unsoldered)
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- FeatherWing
- A FeatherWing is an add-on board made to plug into the Feather microcontroller board layout. Knowing a product is a FeatherWing helps you check whether it will physically and electrically fit your Feather-style mainboard.
- Grove
- Grove is a plug-in connector ecosystem for sensors and modules that avoids soldering and jumper wires. Grove compatibility matters because it can make it quicker to add supported I2C devices, as long as the cable and voltage are suitable.
- Headers
- Rows of metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
- Qwiic
- Qwiic is a plug-in connector system for I2C devices that uses small 4-pin cables, so you can connect compatible sensors without soldering. It matters because your controller or adapter also needs Qwiic, or you will need a cable or breakout to wire it up.
- STEMMA
- A plug-and-cable connection system used on some maker electronics boards to make wiring simpler. If a product uses STEMMA, you need the matching cable or connector type to plug it in without soldering.
- STEMMA QT
- A small plug-in connector system for I2C boards that lets you connect compatible sensors and controllers without soldering. It matters because it can make wiring faster and less error-prone, especially when adding several small modules to a project.
- UART
- UART is a simple serial connection that sends data over separate transmit and receive wires, often labelled TX and RX. It matters because this module is designed to replace a wired UART cable with a wireless link while keeping the same serial data format.
