Whether you’re an engineer, an IoT enthusiast, or a hobbyist looking to create ground-breaking applications we’re certain that you’ll be blown away by the ROCK 3C. This impressive little board is a reliable and extremely capable platform for bringing your ideas to life.
Key benefits of the ROCK 3C single board computer
Reliable Rockchip SoC
ROCK 3C provides reliable and capable performance based on the Rockchip RK3566 SoC, Quad core Armv8.2‑A Cortex®‑A55 up to 1.6GHz, Arm Mali™ G52 GPU, and 32-bit LPDDR4 1GB RAM. Rest assured that its compact size doesn’t mean it’s lacking features, the ROCK 3C will deliver outstanding performance while leveraging outstanding mechanical compatibility.
WiFi onboard, as standard
The ROCK 3C benefits from 802.11 b/g/n/ac Wireless LAN support including WiFi5 and Bluetooth 5.0 making it the ideal solution for supporting your IoT applications, whether you’re looking to create a smart application that requires a reliable Bluetooth connection, or you just want to connect your board to the internet via WiFi, the ROCK 3C has you covered!
More OS, more options
ROCK 3C is a super practical little board, as it is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Android 11, Debian/Ubuntu Linux, the full implementation of the Arm architecture v8‑A instructions set, and others.
No more storage limitations
You may think the ROCK 3C lacks storage capacity with its 32-bit LPDDR4 1GB RAM, however, it benefits from a high-speed eMMC socket for eMMC modules which can be used for data storage and OS. The eMMC socket is compatible with readily available industrial pinout and form factor hardware.
Highly compatible with SBC accessories
There’s nothing more frustrating than getting a new piece of tech and finding out it’s not compatible with your existing accessories. The ROCK 3C’s 40-pin header supports a huge range of interface options, offering an abundance of connectivity capabilities meaning the 3C is compatible with almost every accessory you could think of! On top of that, the dual functionality of many of the pins opens the possibilities for advanced accessories, the sky is the limit!
Supports 1080p display
With an Arm Mali™ G52 graphics processing unit (GPU) at its heart, the ROCK 3C is ideal for multimedia applications, such as videos, and signage. The board benefits from camera and display interfaces, HDMI 2.0 port supporting display up to 1080p resolution, near-CD-quality audio output through a 4-ring 3.5mm audio jack with mic input, and more.

Weather forecast for 7 days and current (local) weather data displayer using the Arduino Opla IoT Kit
We’re excited to announce the launch of the Arduino Oplà Kit, the first open programmable IoT platform that allows you to add smart connectivity to the devices around your home or workplace and build custom IoT devices. The Oplà IoT Kit contains all the hardware necessary to create eight connected applications, access to an online platform with assembly instructions, and a 12-month subscription to the Arduino Create Maker Plan. This kit is perfect for beginners with basic DIY experience, while more advanced users can leverage it to customize and hack their smart applications and devices, with full control of their data and processes. Eight out-of-the-box projects to connect your home or workplace The projects included in the Oplà IoT Kit enable users to turn everyday appliances into smart appliances, which can be controlled remotely on a mobile phone: Remote Controlled Lights — Change color, light modes, and switch on/offPersonal Weather Station — Record and monitor local weather conditionsHome Security Alarm — Detect motion and trigger warningsSolar System Tracker — Retrieve data from planets and moons in the solar systemInventory Control — Track goods in and outSmart Garden — Monitor and manage the environment for your plantsThermostat Control — Smart control for heating and cooling systemsThinking About You — Send messages between the kit and the Arduino IoT Cloud Create, connect, control. The Internet of Things has never been so easy! No soldering is required with the Oplà IoT Kit, which is based on a MKR IoT carrier with an OLED color display, on-board environmental sensors, and capacitive touch buttons. The kit also includes a MKR WiFi 1010 board, a circular plastic enclosure and supporting accessories, such as two cables, a motion sensor, a moisture sensor, and a USB cable. To build applications, users can rely on the Oplà online platform. Each project includes goals, an intro to the components,
