NEW PRODUCTS – Microsoft Azure IoT Starter Kits – with Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi / with Adafruit Feather HUZZAH
In collaboration with Microsoft, Adafruit’s releasing IoT Starter Kits with boards, sensors, and components that are ‘Azure Certified for IoT.’
Azure is Microsoft’s cloud solution for IoT projects. Azure is a comprehensive and flexible program from the Microsoft team that they’re extending into the open source hardware world.
Microsoft Azure IoT Starter Kit w/ Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi
This starter kit includes a pre-soldered Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi with stacking headers, a FeatherWing OLED, and some sensors and components to get you started on your IoT journey.
Feather is a development board from Adafruit that, like its namesake, is thin, light and lets you fly. We designed Feather to be a new standard for portable microcontroller cores.
The Adafruit Feather M0 WiFi with ATWINC1500 is our take on an 'all-in-one' Arduino compatible and high speed, reliable WiFi board with built in USB and battery charging. The FeatherWing OLED adds a 128×32 monochrome OLED plus 3-user buttons to the main Feather Board.
Check out our tutorial here to learn how to set up your Feather M0 WiFi.

Microsoft Azure IoT Starter Kit w/ Adafruit Feather HUZZAH
This starter kit includes a pre-soldered Adafruit Feather HUZZAH with ESP8266 WiFi and some sensors and components to get you started on your IoT journey.
Feather is a development board from Adafruit that, like its namesake, is thin, light and lets you fly. We designed Feather to be a new standard for portable microcontroller cores.
This starter kit contains the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 – our take on an ‘all-in-one’ ESP8266 WiFi development board with built in USB and battery charging. Its an ESP8266 WiFi module with all the extras you need, ready to rock!
At the Feather HUZZAH’s heart is an ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller clocked at 80 MHz and at 3.3V logic. This microcontroller contains a Tensilica chip core as well as a full WiFi stack. You can program the microcontroller using the Arduino IDE for an easy-to-run Internet of Things core. We wired up a USB-Serial chip that an upload code at a blistering 921600 baud for fast development time. It also has auto-reset so no noodling with pins and reset button pressings.
