The MKR IoT Bundle is a great way to get started with the
Internet of Things!
The MKR IoT Bundle includes the components you need to make
5 IoT
projects
following the step-by-step online tutorials on the
Arduino Project Hub
online platform
The
MKR IoT Bundle
walks you through the basics of using the Arduino MKR1000 for IoT applications.
You'll learn through building 5 creative experiments thanks to the step by step online tutorials available on
the
Arduino Project Hub platform.
The MKR IoT bundle includes a selection of the most common and useful electronic components to build 5
IoT experiments.
The 5 experiments you can make:
•
I Love You Pillow
•
Puzzle Box
•
Pavlov's Cat
•
The Nerd
•
Plant Communicator
The kit is based around the MKR1000—a powerful board that combines the functionality of the Zero and
the Wi-Fi Shield—and enables Makers to add connectivity to their designs with minimal prior networking
experience.
Each bundle includes:
•
1 Arduino
MKR1000 board,
with header soldered.
•
1 micro USB cable,

Please note, don't connect 9V to the board, as it will be damaged.
You can use the 9v Battery strip to supply an external component.
Arduino MKR1000 has been designed to offer a practical and cost effective solution for makers seeking to
add Wi-Fi connectivity to their projects with minimal previous experience in networking.It is based on the
Atmel
ATSAMW25
SoC (System on Chip), that is part of the SmartConnect family of Atmel Wireless devices,
specifically designed for IoT projects and devices.
The ATSAMW25 is composed of three main blocks:
SAMD21 Cortex-M0+ 32bit low power ARM MCU
WINC1500 low power 2.4GHz IEEE® 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
ECC508 CryptoAuthentication
The ATSAMW25 includes also a single 1x1 stream PCB Antenna.
The design includes a Li-Po charging circuit that allows the Arduino/Genuino MKR1000 to run on battery
power or external 5V, charging the Li-Po battery while running on external power. Switching from one source
to the other is done automatically.A good 32 bit computational power similar to
the Zero board,
the usual rich
set of I/O interfaces, low power Wi-Fi with a Cryptochip for secure communication, and the ease of use of the
Arduino Software (IDE) for code development and programming.
All these features make this board the preferred choice for the emerging IoT battery-powered projects in a
compact form factor.
The USB port can be used to supply power (5V) to the board.The Arduino MKR1000 is able to run with or
without the Li-Po battery connected and has limited power consumption.
The MKR1000 Wifi module supports certificate SHA-256.
Warning: Unlike most Arduino & Genuino boards, the MKR1000 runs at 3.3V. The maximum voltage
that the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V. Applying voltages higher than 3.3V to any I/O pin could damage
the board. While output to 5V digital devices is possible, bidirectional communication with 5V
devices needs proper level shifting.
