Overview
A single solution to connect your smart devices to the Cloud. The antenna supports the GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz and UMTS bands. Designed for small devices, this antenna will work when used as wireless terminal, gateway, or access point. It is a ground plane independent design, housed in a robust waterproof plastic cover. It can be used outdoors in any kind of telemetry project, as well as for discreet in-vehicle installations. It comes with a high grade adhesive tape that allows the antenna to be attached to any surface. Please note, the antenna is not meant to be mounted on large metallic surfaces, since it would affect the antenna’s coverage. It works great on other materials such as glass, plastic, wood, or cardboard.
List of Compatible Boards
This penta-band antenna is supported by the following official Arduino boards:
You can connect the antenna to any other boards with a micro UFL connector.

This project consists of a small robot controlled via WiFi using an Arduino MKR1000, MKR2UNO Shield Adapter and Arduino Motor Shield!

A few days ago, we launched the MKR2UNO Adapter, which enables you to easily turn an Arduino Uno form factor project into a MKR1000-based one. Simply mount your IoT board to the adapter, plug in any Uno shield and have a wireless device in no time. Our newly-published tutorial provides a step-by-step overview of how to build a WiFi-controllable robot using the MKR2UNO Adapter with a MKR1000 and an Arduino Motor Shield. This project combines the Arduino MKR1000's web server and Arduino Motor Shield's capabilities to drive a pair of different DC motors. A basic interface is hosted and hard-coded in the MKR1000, allowing the user to maneuver the robot up, down, left or right. Check out all of the schematics and code here!
