Introduction

This is the basic Raspberry Pi 2 Model B development kit designed for Windows 10 IoT. The second generation Raspberry Pi is more powerful than its predecessor, with an ARM Cortex-A7 quad-core CPU. This gives it a lot more exciting capabilities that can be used with this kit.

The IoT beginner kit comes with basic sensor modules such as a push button, LED module, temperature sensor, light sensor, flame sensor and soil moisture sensor. The included WiFi module makes it possible to connect to the Microsoft's "Azure" Cloud service easily where you can upload your sensor data to the database.

After learning how sensors work, you can build simple applications like an indoor temperature alarm or a fire alarm. The relay module even gives you the ability to turn devices on and off remotely in your home, office or garden. You can set up a device to turn on all the lights in your house at a certain time. Why not set up a machine to feed your fish when they are hungry? When your plants are thirsty, have them watered automatically! There are many fun applications for this kit. Experience the magic of Windows 10 IoT!
