MKR1000-SNOC

This arduino example will show you how to send a Sigfox message the MKR1000 and using the SNOC wisol module.

Hardware Requirements

• Arduino MKR1000
• SNOC Breakout Board - Sigfox BRKWS01

Module Schematics

• SNOC Breakout Board:

• Arduino MKR1000:

Wiring

Thank you framboise314 for this connection picture!

Install Arduino MKR1000 on Arduino IDE

• Get the lastest arduino IDE here.

• Go to Tools > Boards

• Go to Boards Manager and look for MKR1000:

• Select the Arduino/Guenuino MKR1000:

Send your first message
