MediaTek Labs' IoT Starter Kit for developers

NEW DELHI: MediaTek Labs has come up with its MediaTek LinkIt ONE and Grove IoT Starter Kit, powered by Amazon Web Services, that would help customers bring their ideas to life in IoT.

AWS provides cloud services and cloud management portfolio that will give IoT developers using LinkIt ONE a stable access to the cloud.

The MediaTek LinkIt ONE SDK (for Arduino) includes libraries that have been certified to run AWS IoT Services in order to create software for the LinkIt ONE board using Arduino IDE, and connect it to the commercial cloud services. A range of Grove sensors can be plugged into the LinkIt ONE, allowing developers to store and manage all the sensor data from their IoT devices in the cloud using AWS.

The Grove sensors contained within this new IoT Starter Kit include a 3-Axis Digital Accelerometer (±16g), Loudness Sensor, Light Sensor, Moisture Sensor, Touch Sensor, Temperature Sensor as well as a Grove Base Shield, LED Bar and 1.12 inch OLED Display. AWS IoT Services enable bi-directional communication between internet-connected things − sensors, actuators, devices, applications − and the cloud over MQTT and HTTP.

“MediaTek Labs is committed to bringing IoT to the masses by providing a simplified solution to assist developers as they start on their first IoT projects,” said Marc Naddell, VP of MediaTek Labs. “The new IoT Starter Kit contains everything a developer needs to create powerful proofs-of-concept for IoT and wearables and bring their ideas to fruition,” added Naddell.
