Whether you’re looking to build your first Internet of Things project or simply make an existing device smarter, the MKR1000 Bundle provides everything you need to get started.

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 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
• 1 400-point breadboard
• 70 solid-core jumper wires
• 1 9V battery snap
• 1 stranded jumper wire
• 6 phototransistors
• 3 potentiometers (10 kilohm)
• 10 pushbuttons
• 1 temperature sensor (TMP36)
• 1 tilt sensor
• 1 alphanumeric LCD (16 x 2 characters)
• 1 bright white
• 34 LEDs (1 bright white, 1 RGB, 8 red, 8 green, 8 yellow, 3 blue)
• 1 small DC motor (6/9V)
• 1 small servo motor
• 1 piezo capsule (PKM17EPP-4001-B0)
• 1 H-bridge motor driver (L293D)
• 1 octocouplers (4NE5)
• 2 MOSFET transistors (IRF520)
• 5 capacitors (100uF)
• 5 diodes (1N4007)
• 3 transparent gels (R,G,B)
• 1 male pin strip (40 x 1)
• 20 resistors (220 ohm)
• 5 resistors (560 ohm)
• 5 resistors (1 kilohm)
• 5 resistors (4.7 kilohm)
• 20 resistors (10 kilohm)
• 5 resistors (1 megohm)
• 5 resistors (10 megohm)

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.

Want to add a WiFi interface to your devices? Get the MKR WIFI 1010. It connects easily to other Arduino products and is configurable using Arduino software — and you don’t need to be a network expert.

The MKR WIFI 1010 is a significant improvement on the MKR 1000 WIFI. It's equipped with an ESP32 module made by U-BLOX. This board aims to speed up and simplify the prototyping of WiFi based IoT applications thanks to the flexibility of the ESP32 module and its low power consumption.

The board is composed of three main blocks:

• SAMD21 Cortex-M0+ 32bit Low Power ARM MCU;
• U-BLOX NINA-W10 Series Low Power 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi; and
• ECC508 Crypto Authentication.

The MKR WIFI 1010 includes 32-bit computational power, the usual rich set of I/O interfaces, and low power Wi-Fi with a Cryptochip for secure communication using SHA-256 encryption. Plus, it offers ease of use Arduino Software (IDE) for code development and programming. All of these features make this board the preferred choice for the emerging IoT battery-powered projects in a compact form.

Its USB port can be used to supply power (5V) to the board. It has a Li-Po charging circuit that allows the Arduino MKR WIFI 1010 to run on battery power or an external 5 volt source, charging the Li-Po battery while running on external power. Switching from one source to the other is done automatically.

Warning: Unlike most Arduino boards, the MKR WIFI 1010 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.

Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2

The Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2 empowers advanced high school and college students to easily create their own Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices. With accessible getting started activities and 10 sustainability projects, students will gain knowledge in building Internet-connected objects through technical and theoretical lessons. These projects are designed to challenge students to investigate and solve real-world issues related to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, such as urban farming, health monitoring, and water and waste conservation. By using design thinking methods, students can develop unique solutions to these challenges while learning about future technologies and design methodologies. Give your students the tools they need to create a sustainable future with the Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2.

Learning Outcomes

The purpose of the Arduino Explore IoT Kit Rev2 is to provide students with a complete understanding of the Internet of Things, while also encouraging them to think about solving global sustainability challenges related to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. To ensure that the kit meets the necessary academic and industrial standards, Arduino have identified key concepts that students should learn, such as the tools used for communication, data management, analysis, and computational thinking. The kit uses real-world sensors to collect meaningful data from the environment, which can be modified by remotely controlling actuators such as LEDs, buzzers, and displays through the Cloud. This approach allows students to gain hands-on experience in using IoT technology to address sustainability challenges.
