Looking for a I2C sensors kit for playing with Nerves
Hey all 
I recently started playing with Nerves and I’d like to experiment with sensors of different types:
- temperature
- pressure
- microphone
- infrared
- humidity
- laser
- …
just to mention a few.
Ideally, I’d like to buy a kit with different sensors, but I’m not sure which one. I’m worried to buy a kit and ending up with sensors that are not compatible with Nerves.
As far as I understood, for better compatibility, the sensors should be a I2C or SPI based. But it should also be possible to use an ADC to support analog sensors, this would probably open more possibilities 
And to use more I2C sensors I’d probably need an I2C multiplexer.
Too many questions and doubts that are refraining me to continue my journey.
I know the question is really broad, but any suggestions is welcome.
Thank you all and happy hacking!

Hi! I found a kit that looks easy to get started with. No soldering required as it is connected via connector.
- https://jp.seeedstudio.com/Grove-Creator-Kit-p-5453.html
- alpha includes 20, beta includes 30, gamma includes 40 modules

There might be other good kits. Enjoy!
