MKR FOX 1200

End of Life

The MKR FOX 1200 is your entry point to start working with the European Sigfox networks. The board can easily be added to the Sigfox infrastructure. It also features very low power consumption, and is designed to run on batteries for a longer period of time.

Main Features

The MKR FOX 1200 adds Sigfox connectivity to your projects. Using the popular Arm® Cortex®-M0 32-bit SAMD21 processor, it also features the Microchip® Smart RF ATA8520 for Sigfox connectivity. The board is part of the MKR family, where you can choose from a large variety of shields to build projects out of the box with minimal effort!

Cortex-M0 32-bit SAMD21

The powerful, low-power processor that is used in all MKR Family boards.

Tech Specs

Here you will find the technical specifications for the Arduino MKR FOX 1200.

Please read: operating voltage is 3.3V

The microcontroller on the this board runs at 3.3V, which means that you must never apply more than 3.3V to its Digital and Analog pins. Care must be taken when connecting sensors and actuators to assure that this limit of 3.3V is never exceeded. Connecting higher voltage signals, like the 5V commonly used with the other Arduino boards, will damage the board.

Please read: black conductive foam

You should remove the black conductive foam from the board pins before usage. If you don't remove it, the board may behave erratically.
