Product Details
In partnership with Microsoft and Hackster.io, Adafruit is excited to present a Virtual IoT Starter Pack! It comes with a bunch of boards, sensors, and numerous components, specifically curated for the IoT Virtual Bootcamp co - hosted by Microsoft, Hackster.io, and Adafruit. This kit kicks off your IoT adventure with a pre - soldered Adafruit Feather HUZZAH featuring ESP8266 WiFi. The Feather, like its name suggests, is a lightweight and portable development board, setting a new standard for microcontroller cores. The Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 in this kit is an all - in - one ESP8266 WiFi development board with built - in USB and battery charging. It has an ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller running at 80 MHz and 3.3V logic, equipped with a Tensilica chip core and a full WiFi stack. You can easily program it using the Arduino IDE. There's also a USB - Serial chip for fast code upload at 921600 baud and auto - reset feature. Besides the Feather, this kit includes everything from our Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Starter Pack, enhancing your IoT ecosystem. Note that the jumper wires in this pack may be 3', 6', or 12' long. The kit includes: 1 assembled Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 WiFi, 1 micro servo, 1 PIR (motion) sensor, 1 USB Cable - A/Micro B, 1 fast vibration switch, 1 magnetic contact switch (door sensor), 2 AM2302 (wired DHT22) temperature - humidity sensors, 1 full - sized breadboard, 1 set of premium male/male jumper wires - 40 x 12' (300mm), 1 Adafruit Raspberry Pi B+ / Pi 2 / Pi 3 Case - Smoke Base, 1 assembled Pi Cobbler Plus - Breakout Cable, 1 USB to TTL Serial Cable - Debug / Console Cable for Raspberry Pi, 1 8 GB MicroSD Card with full PIXEL desktop NOOBS - v2.4, 1 5V 2.4A Switching Power Supply with 20AWG MicroUSB Cable, 1 Raspberry Pi - Skill badge, iron - on patch, 1 set of premium female/female jumper wires - 20 x 6' (150mm), 1 set of premium female/male 'Extension' jumper wires - 20 x 6' (300mm), 1 set of premium male/male jumper wires - 20 x 3' (75mm), 1 SD/MicroSD Memory Card (8 GB SDHC), 1 slim HDMI Cable - 450mm / 1.5 feet long, 1 USB MicroSD Card Reader/Writer - microSD / microSDHC / microSDXC, 1 HDMI 7' 800x480 Display Backpack - Without Touch. Component bags contain: 6 12mm Tactile Switches, 1 Breadboard Trim Potentiometer 10K, 2 Diffused 10mm Green LEDs, 2 Diffused 10mm Red LEDs, 1 Diffused 10mm Blue LED, 1 Diffused RGB (tri - color) LED, 10 10K 5% 1/4W Resistors, 10 560 Ohm 5% 1/4W Resistors, 1 Electrolytic Capacitor - 1.0uF, 1 Piezo Buzzer, 2 Photo Cell Light Sensors, 1 Breadboard - friendly SPDT Slide Switch. This kit does not include a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. For a version with a Pi 3, click here. Also, IoT Virtual Bootcamp participants should have their own keyboard and mouse as they are not included in the kit.
Using the Microsoft Hackster.io Virtual IoT Starter Pack is easy! First, start by familiarizing yourself with the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266. Connect it to your computer using the provided USB cable. Then, open the Arduino IDE and start programming the Feather to get your IoT project going. When using the sensors and components, make sure to connect them properly according to the circuit diagrams. The jumper wires might come in different lengths, so choose the appropriate one for your needs. Remember, this kit doesn't include a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, keyboard, or mouse. If you want a version with a Pi 3, check out the other option. As for maintenance, keep the components in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you're not using the kit for a while, disconnect the power supply to prevent any potential damage. When handling the microSD card, be gentle and don't insert it incorrectly. That's it! Have fun exploring the world of IoT with this great kit.
