Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a cloud services and cloud management portfolio that will give IoT developers using LinkIt ONE fast, flexible, secure and stable access to the cloud. This is good news for developers. The new Starter Kit includes the MediaTek LinkIt ONE and a range of Grove sensors from Seed Studio to help makers and developers bring their ideas to life in IoT market.

The MediaTek LinkIt ONE SDK (for Arduino) includes libraries that have been certified to run AWS IoT Services to create software for the LinkIt ONE board using Arduino IDE.  This allows it to be connected to one of the world’s biggest commercial cloud services. A range of Grove sensors plug 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 secure, bi-directional communication between internet-connected objects,  sensors, actuators, devices, applications ? and the cloud over MQTT and HTTP.

Marc Naddell, VP of MediaTek Labs said

“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. 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.”

The MediaTek labs One and Grove IoT Starter Kit is available as of today at Amazon and a few others places and the one we found listed was selling for a quite reasonable $108 fee.
