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.

Engineering Just Got Cool with the Arduino Engineering Kit! Bring the power of the Arduino MKR1000 to the classroom with MATLAB and Simulink.

The Arduino Engineering Kit is the ideal solution for university students, providing a state-of-the-art, hands-on incorporation of Arduino technology in an educational setting. The kit is primarily for three types of users:

• Students learning about engineering at a university or at a vocational school (e.g., Introductory Engineering, Controls, Mechatronics courses);
• Professors teaching engineering who also want practical resources to demonstrate engineering concepts;
• Makers with an interest or background in engineering, either professionally or as a hobby.

The Arduino Engineering Kit includes three cutting-edge Arduino-based projects so that students can learn fundamental engineering concepts, key aspects of mechatronics, and MATLAB and Simulink programming. These projects will challenge them intellectually and help them develop physical engineering skills — and they’re just fun to do.

1. Self-Balancing Motorcycle: This motorcycle will maneuver on its own on various terrains and remain upright using a flywheel for balance. It’s very exciting to build and to see in action.
2. Mobile Rover: This vehicle can navigate between given reference points, move objects with a forklift and much more. It’s very fun to make and use.
3. Whiteboard Drawing Robot: This amazing robot can take a drawing it’s given and duplicate it on a whiteboard. It’s most impressive.

The kit is sold in a hard plastic, stackable tool box for storage and years of reuse. Inside the box is an easy-to-use Arduino MKR1000 board, several customized parts, and a complete set of electrical and mechanical components needed to assemble all three projects. See below for detailed list of what’s included in the kit.

In addition to the state-of-the-art, high-quality, open-source hardware provided, after registering online, the student will have access to a dedicated e-learning platform and other learning materials. Additionally, they are granted a one-year individual license for MATLAB and Simulink. This provides them with hands-on experience in system modeling and embedded algorithm development.
