Microsoft Hackster.io Virtual IoT Pack – w/ Raspberry Pi 3

A comprehensive IoT starter kit built around the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 WiFi board and a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. Originally curated for the Microsoft and Hackster.io IoT Virtual Bootcamp, this pack includes everything you need to get started with Internet of Things projects — sensors, actuators, a display, breadboard, jumper wires, and more.

The pre-soldered Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 runs at 80 MHz with built-in WiFi, USB, and battery charging. Program it via the Arduino IDE for quick IoT prototyping. The included Raspberry Pi 3 adds a full Linux computer to your setup for cloud connectivity and data processing.
