IoT Starter Kit is an all-in-one bundle for micro:bit beginners to fast experience and build Internet of Things projects.

The kit comes with a micro:bit microcontroller, a Wi-Fi module and 7 sensors/actuators that are wildly used in real-life IoT applications.

You can easily setup the Wi-Fi connection in MakeCode Block Editor, program your micro:bit and eventually interact with your smart devices.

To make things even easier and fun. We developed EasyIoT, a free educational IoT platform that allows subscribers to exchange and visualize the data.

This starter kit is compatible with hundreds of DFRobot Gravity Series modules, bringing endless possibilities to your IoT applications.

FEATURES

micro:bit with Internet connectivity
The kit comes with a plug and play Wi-Fi module, Obloq, that adds Internet connectivity to micro:bit.
To start Internet connection, simply fill your Wi-Fi name and password into the coding blocks.

Other than EasyIoT, Obloq also supports HTTP commands, allowing accessing to more web applications.

EasyIoT Platfrom

EasyIoT is a free educational IoT platform that allows you to exchange and visualize data. You can access EasyIoT from the web Browser of your smart devices.

EasyIoT Dash Board

EasyIoT works similar to the micro:bit radio communication. All the micro:bits and your smart devices under the same topic will receive the message published to this topic. Meanwhile, the message will be saved in the cloud for further analysis.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

DS18B20: The DS18B20 is a common digital temperature sensor, often supplied in a waterproof stainless-steel probe, that sends its readings to a microcontroller over a 1-Wire connection. It is a typical choice for adding temperature data to environmental or water-monitoring projects.
Gravity: Gravity is DFRobot’s plug-in connector system for sensors, motors and modules, using standard cables to reduce loose jumper wiring. It matters because Gravity-compatible parts can connect directly to these ports, while non-Gravity parts may need adapters or manual wiring.
IoT: Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
microcontroller: A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
Relay module: A relay module uses an electrically controlled switch to let a low-power microcontroller control a separate circuit. It matters when switching devices that need different voltages or more current than a microcontroller pin can safely handle.
servo: A servo is a motor with built-in position control, usually told to move to a specific angle by a control signal. It matters when you need repeatable movement, such as steering, arms, flaps, or linkages, rather than continuous spinning.
