Microsoft Hackster.io Virtual IoT Pack

In cooperation with Microsoft and Hackster.io, Adafruit presents a Virtual IoT pack filled with boards, sensors, and numerous components. This kit is custom - made for the IoT Virtual Bootcamp jointly hosted by Microsoft, Hackster.io, and Adafruit. It includes a pre - soldered Adafruit Feather HUZZAH with ESP8266 WiFi, along with sensors and components to kick - start your IoT adventure. The Adafruit Feather is a lightweight and portable development board, our new standard for microcontroller cores. The Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 in the kit is an all - in - one ESP8266 WiFi development board with built - in USB and battery charging. At its core is an 80 MHz, 3.3V ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller with a Tensilica chip core and a full WiFi stack. You can easily program it using the Arduino IDE. It has a USB - Serial chip for fast code uploads and auto - reset for hassle - free development. Besides the Feather, this kit also includes everything from our Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Starter Pack, expanding your IoT ecosystem. Note that the jumper wires may come in 3', 6', or 12' versions. Available with or without Raspberry Pi 3. Participants in the IoT Virtual Bootcamp should bring their own keyboard and mouse. The pack has seen revisions: as of 10/12/2017, it includes the HDMI 7' 800x480 Display Backpack without touch; as of 11/15/2017, it has 2x AM2302 (wired DHT22) temperature - humidity sensors. Product Weight: 2.3g / 0.1oz.

Using this Virtual IoT pack is easy. First, if you're new to the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH, check out our learn guide to set it up. Once it's set up, you can start programming it with the Arduino IDE. Connect the sensors and components according to your project needs. For example, you can connect the PIR motion sensor to detect movement or the temperature - humidity sensor to monitor environmental conditions. When using the Raspberry Pi 3 in the kit, insert the 8GB MicroSD Card with NOOBS 2.0, connect the power supply, and you're good to go. Note that the IoT Virtual Bootcamp expects you to have your own keyboard and mouse. Regarding maintenance, keep the components in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're not using the kit for a long time, store it properly. The jumper wires may come in different lengths, so choose the right one for your project. Also, be aware of the revisions in the kit content as mentioned in the product description.
