To address industrial Internet of Things (IoT) projects, Ethernet connectivity becomes the most reliable and stable technology. Microchip's IoT Ethernet kit powered by AWS IoT uses an Ethernet LAN8740A driven by a 32-bit microcontroller with 2 MB of Flash (PIC32MZ EF) that provides plenty of memory space for applications.

This IoT kit takes advantage of the AWS IoT service and provides a smooth user experience by coming preloaded with the corresponding firmware. AWS IoT is a managed cloud platform that allows connected devices to interact easily and securely with cloud applications and other devices. Additionally, the firmware in the kit makes use of MPLAB^® Harmony, FreeRTOS™, WolfMQTT, and WolfSSL allowing the user to quick-start their IoT design. Regarding the sensors, hundreds of different sensors can be plugged into the MikroElektronka mikroBUS™ footprint allowing for the prototyping of a large variety of IoT proof-of-concepts.
