Ideal applications: IoT, smart home appliances, remotely controlled devices
Unleash its full potential using expansion shields and add-on boards, from adding motion sensing, power management, motor controllers, CAN Bus connectivity, or a display
Includes a special hardware element, a cryptochip, to ensure secure point to point communication
Connects to the Arduino Cloud, but also AWS, IFTTT, Bluemix, browses any website as client, can make GET requests to server-side scripts, etc
Talk to your browser via websockets or opening a faster UDP communication channel with standard software from the official Arduino TCP Library
Arduino MKR1000 has been designed to offer a practical and cost effective solution for anyone seeking to add WiFi connectivity to their projects with minimal experience in networking. The design includes a Li-Po charging circuit that allows the Arduino 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. The MKR1000 has an 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0+ processor, the usual rich set of I/O interfaces, and low power WiFi with a crypto-chip for secure communication. You can program it using the familiar, easy-to-use Arduino Software (IDE). All of these features make this board the preferred choice for the emerging IoT battery-powered projects in a compact form factor.
