Hello I'm Nicholas Powers with Arrow Electronics and I have with me today the Advanced Feather IoT Pack from Adafruit. This was a kit that they put together meant more for your advanced projects.
When you have scaled up through electronics, gone beyond some of the really simple things, you got your LED blinking, and now you want to get a project online. So we're going to open it up to a little unboxing, show you what's inside, get your project started.

Here is some pretty packaging; on the back here it actually gives you kind of a rundown of what's inside, saying we've got some fun boards to play with and it’s for the student who’s mastered Ardunio and soldering, who is ready to take on more. Inside it is nicely bubble wrapped so things aren’t bouncing around too much. First off we've got the DHT22, this is a temperature and humidity sensor with single wire communication; it's really convenient for any environmental monitoring that you might want to do. Basic USB to USB Micro cable, just for hooking up to the board and getting everything programmed. We have a door sensor, this is an enclosed magnetic reed switch that can help you detect when a door is open or closed. It is just a very simple switch to wire, easy to get set up, and you can use it on your digital i/o. Next up is a little micro servo that is easily controlled by the Feather. They're a bunch of libraries on how to already use a servo, but it’s just single-step servo motion to help you open those little doors or switches; basically to do mechanical interfacing. This is a PIR sensor, a passive infrared sensor or pyroelectric infrared sensor, depending on who you talk to. So here's the little sensor, there’s actually a little dome covering the actual sensor. Let's pop it open; so there you can see the sensor itself and it comes with a cable to get hooked up so you can get it into your projects. This is really useful for detecting if somebody's in a room or a simple motion. So think of it as a motion sensor and here is the wire that goes with that.
We've got two more things in here. First up, this is the Adafruit Parts Pal. This is a ton of different components from LEDs to resistors, voltage regulators, transistors, connector wires, capacitors, headers, a little breadboard; all the things you need to get your projects really up and running. Last but not least, we have the actual Feather Huzzah board itself along with the Feathe rWing OLED display. This is the brains of the operation and a little cool display to help make things visible for you.
We'll start with the OLED display, this already has the headers attached to it so it plugs right into the Feather Huzzah. It's got a small OLED display here, a couple of interface buttons, and a reset since it does block the switch that’s on the feather itself or at least makes it hard to access. This has some really nice libraries already written that you can use to display simple information. And then here it is as itself, this is the Adafruit Feather Huzzah. This is a breakout board based upon the esp8266 module. This little module right here, you can think of it as very similar to an Arduino that you even program the same, but it's got Wi-Fi built-in and the only downside really is that it has less analog i/o. It only has one A to D converter in it so you don't get as much analog input, but it does have a nifty little header here and that allows you to actually plug a battery in and make your project completely wireless. There's your little USB port for programming and it has headers top and bottom so you can plug it into a breadboard and get your designs up and running really quick. So here's the brain to your operation along with everything else here. It really allows you to make a lot of very cool things.
So this was the Adafruit Advanced Feather IoT Pack and thanks for joining me. If you want this, it'll be on our website at Arrow.com and I look forward to seeing what you can make with it.
