Overview
With this carrier in combination with any board from the MKR family, you can quickly create your next IoT project without any extra components. This carrier has all you need in sensors and actuators to create cool projects connected to the Internet.
Using the MKR IoT Carrier Rev2 in combination with any board of the MKR family, you can quickly build:
- Environment monitoring stations: Using the sensors on the carrier, you can map different phenomena around you. You can easily measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and air quality or detect the movement of the board, and in case you want to expand the sensor you can use any of the grove connectors to connect analog or I2C grove compatible modules. All this information can be stored in the SD card or sent directly to the Arduino IoT Cloud.
- GUI IoT interface: Even if you want to visualize sensor data or design your own user interface, you can use the OLED color display to create your own navigation menus or use the LEDs and the buzzer for feedback.
- Control external devices: Control electronic appliances up to 24 Volts using the two on-board relays. Either you want to turn on or off your reading lamp remotely through the Arduino IoT Cloud Remote app or use any of the sensor data to affect the behavior of the lamp.

… usar, los alumnos simplemente tienen que conectar el dispositivo Android a la placa, montar el proyecto, y después usa los sensores que contiene la shield y los módulos plug-and-play para simular las atracciones. Los datos son transmitidos del experimento a el dispositivo móvil del alumno via Bluetooth, donde se puede ver y analizar el resultado obtenido en la app Science Journal de Google o en las fichas de los alumnos. Arduino Education Science Kit Physics Lab no está pensado para usarse únicamente en clase. De hecho, los alumnos pueden usar el kit en exteriores para convertir su recreo en su propia feria de ciencia aplicando los conceptos que han aprendido, y así, diseñar y probar sus propias atracciones. Basado en el uso de Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 , que es un laboratorio portátil incluyendo un grupo de sensores para medir luminosidad, temperatura, movimiento, campos magnéticos y mucho más… todo esto en una caja Gratnells protectora. Arduino Education apunta a apoyar a los profesores proporcionando nuestros programas, contenido online y las hojas del alumno en el mayor número de idiomas posible: no solo en los idiomas Europeos relevantes, por ejemplo, Árabe y Japonés están planeados para futuras actualizaciones. Lo siguientes idiomas para Science Kit Physics Lab serán Alemán, Húngaro y Portugués. MÁS INFORMACIÓN Da oggi Science Kit è disponibile anche in italiano e spagnolo. Nel Gennaio 2019, in collaborazione con Google, Arduino Science Kit Physics Lab è stato lanciato sul mercato, per studenti di scuola media (tra 11 e 14 anni) e non solo, con l'obiettivo di esplorare la scienza, divertendosi. Da oggi, i contenuti del corso sono disponibili in italiano e spagnolo, rendendolo ancora più accessibile. “Sei tu che esperimenti in prima persona, ed è stato davvero divertente poterlo fare” ha commentato uno studente inglese dell'accademia di ARK Burlington Danes.

FAQs
What are the main differences between MKR IoT Carrier and MKR IoT Carrier Rev2?
Some sensors have changed between both versions:
- The humidity sensor (HTS221) and barometric pressure sensor (LP22HB) was replaced with the BME6688 sensor.
- The IMU (LSM6DS3) was replaced with LSM6DSOX.
Some other components have been repositioned:
- Addition of a reset button
- 90° rotation of the relay connectors
- Repositioning of the light sensor (APDS-9960)
- Change of pins assigned to control the relays to pin 1 and 2
- Change grove connector assignment from pin A5 to A6
Do I have to change my sketch if I have been using the first revision of the MKR IoT Carrier?
The MKR IoT Carrier library is compatible with both revisions of the carrier, just make sure to use the latest version of the library.
