DESCRIPTION
RETIRED PRODUCT – We’ve stopped stocking this product or it has been retired by the manufacturer and is no longer for sale. This page remains available for its resources and as a source of potential interest.
It is based on the Microchip SAMD21, ATA8520 SigFox module.
Can run for over six months on 2 AA 1.5V batteries with typical usage.
The design includes the ability to power the board using two 1.5V AA or AAA batteries or an external 5V. Switching from one source to the other is done automatically.
A good 32-bit computational power similar to the Zero board, the usual rich set of I/O interfaces, low power SigFox communication and the ease of use of the Arduino Software (IDE) for code development and programming. All these features make this board the preferred choice for emerging IoT battery-powered projects in a compact form factor.
The USB port can be used to supply power (5V) to the board.
The Arduino MKRFOX1200 is able to run with or without the batteries connected and has limited power consumption.
- Unlike most Arduino & Genuino boards, the MKRFOX1200 runs at 3.3V. The maximum voltage that the I/O pins can tolerate is 3.3V.
- Applying voltages higher than 3.3V to any I/O pin could damage the board. While output to 5V digital devices is possible, bidirectional communication with 5V devices needs proper level shifting.
- This does not include an antenna

RESOURCES
The board works in EU region. Check the EU coverage on the SigFox website
The MKRFox1200 price includes a subscription to the SigFox network for two years. The plan will be automatically activated after the fourth message has been sent. You can send up to 140 messages per day.
Battery capacity
The connected batteries must have a nominal voltage of 1.5V
Battery connector
If you want to connect a battery pack (2x AA or AAA) to your MKRFOX1200 use the screw terminal block.
Polarity: as reported on the silk on the bottom of the board, the positive pin is the closest to the USB connector
Onboard LED
On MKRFOX1200 the onboard LED is connected to D6 and not D13 as on the other boards. Blink example or other sketches that uses pin 13 for onboard LED may need to be changed to work properly.
