AC164165 Wi-Fi Smart Device Enablement Kit

Microchip's AC164165 Wi-Fi smart device enablement kit is a small and easy-to-use development platform that demonstrates the design of typical IoT applications. The kit is controlled by a SAML21G18B host microcontroller (MCU). The kit is equipped with an ATWINC15x0 IEEE® 802.11 b/g/n network controller, an ATECC608A CryptoAuthentication™ device, an MCP73833 Li-Ion/Li-Po charge management controller, a MIC5317 high-PSRR LDO, a BME280 environment sensor, and a VEML6030 light sensor. The AC164165 kit can be programmed and debugged with an Atmel-ICE programmer through an SWD interface or programmed with an SAM-BA® in-system programmer through a USB interface.

The Wi-Fi smart device enablement kit is preprogrammed and configured for demonstrating connectivity to the AWS® IoT cloud, working with Amazon Alexa. The user can speak to an Alexa-enabled device such as the Echo Dot® to get sensor data and control the LED of the kit. A mobile application is provided for board registration and network configuration. The app can be used to monitor and control the kit. As an IoT edge, this firmware provides the control, monitoring, Wi-Fi connectivity, and security functions in a typical IoT scenario. Accelerate adding Alexa voice control to an IoT application by using the AC164165 Wi-Fi smart device enablement kit.
