Gravity: IoT Starter Kit for micro:bit

The DFRobot Gravity: IoT Starter Kit is an all-in-one bundle for micro:bit beginners to quickly learn, experience and build Internet of Things projects!

The kit comes with a micro:bit V1 microcontroller, expansion board, a Wi-Fi module and 7 sensors/actuators that are wildly used in real-life IoT applications.

You can easily set up the Wi-Fi connection in the MakeCode Block Editor, then program your micro:bit and eventually interact with your smart devices! To make things even easier and fun, we developed EasyIoT, a free educational IoT platform that allows subscribers to exchange and visualize their data. There's also a handy quick start guide to make getting started easier than ever.

This starter kit is compatible with hundreds of DFRobot Gravity modules, bringing endless possibilities to your IoT applications.

Features

micro:bit with Internet connectivity

The kit comes with a plug and play Wi-Fi module 'Obloq' that adds Internet connectivity to your micro:bit

To start an Internet connection, simply complete your Wi-Fi name and password into the coding blocks.

Other than EasyIoT, Obloq also supports HTTP commands, allowing access to more web applications such as IFTTT Webhooks.

EasyIoT Platform

EasyIoT is a free educational IoT platform that allows you to exchange and visualize data. You can access EasyIoT from a smartphone web browser or similar.

EasyIoT Dashboard

EasyIoT works similar to the micro:bit radio communication. All the micro:bits and your smart devices under the same topic will receive the message published to this topic. Meanwhile, the message will be saved in the cloud for further analysis.
