Overview

Basic Kit 2 lets you build a compact IoT sensor device that measures temperature, humidity, light and acceleration and sends the data over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). It supports coin cell operation, and you can swap the AVR and STM32 MCU (microcontroller) leaves to develop programs using the same sensors.

It includes AVR (ATmega328P) and STM32 (STM32L452REI6) MCU leaves, BLE, temperature, humidity, illuminance and acceleration sensors, and a plastic case with a magnet.

The kit ships with the AVR MCU assembled and a demo installed on each MCU. Start the preinstalled AVR demo without changing the stack. When you need more memory or processing capacity, you can swap in the included STM32 MCU. The STM32 demo is an optional guide to try sensor logging and BLE communication after the swap.
