Arduino MKR IoT Carrier Rev2 ABX00073

Description

The Arduino MKR IoT Carrier Rev2 (ABX00073) is a comprehensive expansion board designed to accelerate the development of IoT projects when combined with any board from the Arduino MKR family. This carrier eliminates the need for additional external components, providing a rich array of integrated sensors and actuators necessary for creating advanced connected applications.

Developers can leverage the carrier for diverse applications such as environment monitoring stations, utilizing the integrated BME6688 sensor for temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and air quality, alongside the LSM6DSOX IMU for motion detection. It also functions as an intuitive GUI IoT interface, thanks to its OLED color display, RGB LEDs, and buzzer for visual and auditory feedback. Furthermore, the two on-board 24V relays enable control over external electronic appliances, expanding its utility into industrial and home automation.

This Rev2 version introduces several key improvements over its predecessor, including the replacement of HTS221 and LP22HB sensors with the BME6688, and the LSM6DS3 IMU with the LSM6DSOX. It also incorporates a useful reset button, rotated relay connectors, refined APDS-9960 sensor positioning, and updated pin assignments for enhanced usability and reliability based on customer feedback.
