Adafruit Arduino MKR1000

WiFi on an Arduino? Absolutely. The MKR1000 from arduino.cc combines the functionality of the Arduino Zero with an integrated WiFi chip, making it a perfect choice for IoT projects. Built around the Atmel ATSAMW25 SoC, it seamlessly merges an Arduino Zero with a WINC1500 WiFi module.

Designed specifically for IoT devices, the board features a LiPo charging connector, allowing your projects to become truly mobile. It can run on battery or external 5V power, with automatic switching and simultaneous LiPo charging capability. Portable and versatile, this board ensures your IoT applications are never tied down.

The MKR1000 offers low power Wi-Fi with soft AP SSL support, safeguarded by an ATMEL cryptochip for secure communication, and provides the ease of coding with the Arduino IDE. Be aware that the board operates at 3.3V. Exceeding this voltage can damage I/O pins, necessitating proper level shifting when interfacing with 5V devices.
