The Kit

The Specs

Arduino Nano 33 IoT

 

design challenge kit

https://www.element14.com/community/view-product.jspa?fsku=3404693&nsku=67AH8873&COM=noscript

The board's main processor is a low power ArmRegistered CortexRegistered-M0 32-bit SAMD21.

The WiFi and BluetoothRegistered connectivity is performed with a module from u-blox, the NINA-W10, a low power chipset operating in the 2.4GHz range.

On top of those, secure communication is ensured through the MicrochipRegistered ECC608 crypto chip.

Besides that, you can find a 6 axis IMU, what makes this board perfect for simple vibration alarm systems, pedometers, relative positioning of robots, etc

 

IoT support for:

  • Arduino's own IoT Cloud: Arduino's IoT Cloud is a simple and fast way to ensure secure communication for all of your connected Things. Check it out here
  • Blynk: a simple project from our community connecting to Blynk to operate your board from a phone with little code
  • IFTTT: see an in-depth case of building a smart plug connected to IFTTT
  • AWS IoT Core: we made this example on how to connect to Amazon Web Services
  • Azure: visit this github repository explaining how to connect a temperature sensor to Azure's Cloud
  • Firebase: you want to connect to Google's Firebase, this Arduino library will show you how

The Terms

 

Selected official applicants will be chosen to receive the "Kit" listed above. These successful applicants will be our sponsored challengers, and they must use the Arduio Nano IoT 33 within their project, and Publish their final Code and Designs on the element14 Community for others to use. Those not chosen as sponsored challengers may also join the competition, but they must base their projects around the kit listed above and adhere to all terms and conditions of the challenge.

They need to post their progress and final project as at least 5 blog posts before the closing date when projects are due. Posts which are media rich with photos, videos, and code samples will be viewed more favorably in the judging process.

    Hey embedded_sergey I'm sorry to hear that, Let me answer some of your questions. 1) We have a back end system that allows me to read and check each challenger for common items, such as how long they have…

    It seems to be a different problem. I can update other blogs but I cannot post a new one for the competition. I am still behind by 2 blogs don't know what to do with so little time left.

    Hi Dishant

    Element14's site has been very slow for a week, even though that error keep waiting on the same page. It usually recovers on its own but may take several minutes.

    Of course now that the challenge is almost over, I've got a perfect project for the nano 33 IoT.

    Oh, what a shame that it is June and not July. I did not check again after seeing that it was corrected to June and I left unassembled BIBoP lying on my workbench and went off to fix some more pressing things...
    In any case, 5 blog posts are already there and the device will be assembled in the upcoming week image

    My apologies, I mistakenly wrote the wrong date, this was a small extension for those wanting to finish up their projects. I confirm We will be accepting blogs and entry until end of 4th of June 2021.

    Thank you for your understanding

    Hi Phil,

     

    In the post and in the comment it says July, but it says June in the table.

    image

    Which one of those is correct?

     

    Thanks,

    Milos

    Hi Phil, e14phil

    I have completed 14 blogs (VenTTracker Blogs ), one for each week but the 5 blogs badge does not appear in my profile.

    I had the 10 blogs badge but it has disappeared image.I hope the badges are not used to check if the requirements are met. image
