Microchip WFI32-IOT Development Board

The WFI32-IoT Development Board is a compact and easy-to-use development board to develop Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications with the WFI32E01PC module, a highly integrated Wi-Fi MCU module supporting smart Wi-Fi functionalities and premium MCU features. The board also includes an on-board debugger, PICkit On-board 4 (PKOB4), and requires no external hardware to program and debug the WFI32 module.

The WFI32-IoT board provides the most simple and effective way to connect your embedded application to cloud IoT platforms such as AWS and Azure. It is:

• Amazon Frustraton Free Setup (FFS) Certified
• and an Azure Certified Device

To help designers quickly build a prototype and demonstrate the cloud connection, the WFI32-IoT board has an on-board temperature sensor and light sensor which can be used to collect environment data and transmit it to a cloud server. The board also contains a mikroBUS™ Click™ header for users to expand the functionalities by connecting to various mikroBUS™ adapter boards.        

Out of the box, the WFI32 comes preloaded with a firmware image that enables you to quickly connect and send data to the AWS Cloud using the on-board temperature and light sensors. And users can easily build their own custom projects with software libraries and example codes provided in Harmony v3.
