Overview
The MKR2UNO Adapter allows you to turn your Arduino UNO form factor based project into a MKR based one without too much effort! You can so upgrade your project with a powerful board with integrated LiPo battery charger.
Please note that currently the MKR2UNO adapter is compatible only with MKR1000 without headers

Please keep in mind that the MKR2UNO is just a form factor adapter and so is NOT present any voltage translation. Be careful before connecting a shield since shield without IOREF level shifting capability may not work properly.
Like in many others Arduino boards this adapter allows to power your MKR board using a barrel jack with center positive polarity or the VIN pin on the headers.
Unlike the Arduino UNO, the MKR2UNO Adapter do NOT have I2C signals on A4 and A5 and SPI on pins 11, 12 and 13.
All the pins on the MKR2UNO Adapter are wired one to one from the MKR to the UNO form factor with some exception:

Being able to monitor the weather in real-time is great for education, research, or simply to analyze how the local climate changes over time. This project by Hackster.io user Pradeep explores how he was able to design a simple station outdoors that could communicate with a cloud-based platform for aggregating the sensed data. The board Pradeep selected is the Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 owing to its low-power SAM D21 microcontroller and Wi-Fi/BLE connectivity for easy, wireless communication. After configured, he connected a DFRobot Lark Weather Station, which contains sensors for measuring wind speed/direction, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure — all in a compact device. Every second, the MKR WiFi 1010’s sketch polls the sensors for new data over I2C before printing it to USB. The cloud integration aspect was achieved by leveraging Qubitro’s platform to collect and store the data for later visualization and analysis. To set it up, Pradeep created a new device connection and copied the resulting MQTT endpoint/token into his sketch. Then once new data became ready, it got serialized into a JSON payload and sent to the topic where a variety of widgets could then show dials and charts of each weather-related metric.
