Arduino MKR

You've probably heard of Arduino, maybe you've even worked with an Arduino Uno . But did you know that Arduino goes beyond hobby boards? The Arduino MKR family is an example of this. This family of Board s , Shields & Carriers is the first step towards professional use of Arduino. The MKR family is perfect for advanced hobbyists but is also very suitable for professional use.

Easier IoT development

Arduino MKR boards combine the power of a 32-bit Arm microcontroller
with a choice of integrated WiFi, GSM, NB-IoT, SigFox or LoRa connectivity.
They are supported by the same Arduino IDE that millions of people know
of users. – Making IoT accessible for beginners and productive for
professionals.

Ready for Production

Arduino MKR boards are designed with end products in mind. All boards
are FCC, RoHS and CE certified, with a robust mechanical design making them ideal for industrial applications in combination with the RS 485, CAN or
Ethernet shields. A special crypto chip means efficient, secure internet
connectivity with TLS support.

Long battery life

Arduino MKR boards can be powered by a rechargeable LiPo battery
using the built-in connector and circuit protection, making it easy to create remote sensor applications. With a low-power Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontroller that supports sleep modes and wake-on-interrupt, it is designed to last longer with smaller batteries. From agriculture to smart homes, you can find the right solution for your next IoT project.

The Panini concept

Grab an MKR board and mix and match with your desired Shields and Carriers to quickly and easily create custom hardware configurations for IoT solutions.
It's as easy as making a sandwich!
