Grove Starter Kit

You can purchase the LinkIt 7697 Starter Kit from Seeed Studio. In this page, we'll show you how to use the peripherals provided in the Starter Kit. Corresponding example codes and drivers are explained in each tutorial, including the porting guideline if you're using sources from the repository of the vendor directly. We've also maintained one repository to host drivers which had been ported to and can be used on the LinkIt 7697. Using those drivers will ease the porting process for making them available on the LinkIt 7697. And next we'll guide you through how to install them.
