Overview
Description
The QuickConnect Beginners Kit is designed to offer a user-friendly entry point into the QuickConnect Platform. All boards included in the kit are supported through QuickConnect Studio. Featuring a modular design with standard Pmod™ connectors, the kit includes an MCU board, a Wi-Fi connectivity module, and a variety of sensors—ideal for fast prototyping. This setup enables both rapid software development and easy hardware integration. Users can create projects using AWS MQTT sample applications and gather real-time data from sensors such as temperature, humidity, air quality, and audio.
Launched in May 2025, the QuickConnect Beginners Kit V2.0 is a streamlined version of the original kit. It helps users quickly get started with QuickConnect Studio, supporting key features like project creation, customization, compilation, and debugging—all within a cloud-based development environment.
