Würth Elektronik Calypso IoT Design Kit

Würth Elektronik has launched the Calypso IoT Design Kit, an evaluation kit with pre-installed firmware, which enables the creation and evaluation of secure end-to-end IoT solutions using Microsoft’s Azure IoT Central. The design kit offers a hardware platform for rapid prototyping. The FeatherWing development board from Würth Elektronik combines sensors, power modules and wireless connectivity into one kit. They are open source and compatible with the Feather form factor from Adafruit. Hardware and software have been pre-tested and verified for integration into Microsoft’s Azure IoT central, to which end Würth Elektronik has joined the Azure Certified Device program.

The IoT design kit comprises the Würth Elektronik FeatherWing sensor, the Würth Elektronik Calypso Wi-Fi FeatherWing, and Adafruit’s FeatherWing OLED and Feather M0, which works with the ATSAMD21G18 ARM Cortex M0+ processor and is supplied with pre-installed firmware from Würth Elektronik.

The IoT design kit makes it easy to develop IoT applications, in particular for the decentralised recording of sensor data, which are then processed using the pre-installed UX und API interface Azure IoT Central. The FeatherWing sensor monitors MEMS absolute-pressure, 3-axis acceleration, temperature and relative-humidity sensors. The IoT design kit can also be used to develop monitoring and control applications for areas such as industrial automation, the healthcare sector, smart home, smart cities, smart grids and smart farming.
