Essential hardware – sensors and development boards
The Arduino series has a wide collection of development boards that vary in size, pins, and communication technologies. In this chapter, we will use the Arduino MKR WAN 1300 development board, as it’s compact, battery-enabled, and provides support for different frequencies from different regions around the world, including 433/868/915 MHz. Figure 6.2 shows a pinout diagram of the MKR WAN 1300.

The Arduino MKR WAN 1300 provides seven analog pins, which start with A (A0, A1, and so on), and eight digital input/output pins, which start with D (D0, D1, and so on), with built-in battery charging and a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery connector for standby power, which helps developers build prototypes and solutions for remote monitoring/operations without worrying about power backups.
