Arduino MKR WAN 1310 (Original)

The Arduino MKR WAN 1310 board offers a practical and cost-effective solution for adding LoRa® connectivity to low-power projects. This open-source board can connect to the Arduino IoT Cloud.

Better and More Efficient

MKR WAN 1310 brings a series of improvements compared to its predecessor, the MKR WAN 1300. It still features the low-power Microchip® SAMD21 processor, Murata CMWX1ZZABZ LoRa® module, and the characteristic cryptographic chip of the MKR family (ECC508). However, the MKR WAN 1310 includes a new battery charger, 2MB of SPI Flash, and improved control over the board's power consumption.

Improved Battery Power

The latest changes have significantly improved the battery life of the MKR WAN 1310. When properly configured, power consumption can now go as low as 104uA! It's also possible to power the board using the USB port; run it on battery or without batteries - the choice is yours.

Built-in Storage

Data logging and other OTA (Over The Air) functions have become possible since the inclusion of the built-in 2MByte Flash. This exciting new feature allows you to transfer configuration files from infrastructure to the board, create your own script commands, or locally store data to send when the best connection is available. The MKR WAN 1310's crypto chip enhances security by storing credentials and certificates in a built-in secure element.

These features make it an ideal IoT node and building block for low-power wide-area IoT devices.

Getting Started

The "Getting Started" section includes all the information you need to configure your board, use the Arduino Software (IDE), and get started with coding and working on electronics projects.

Specifications

Arduino MKR WAN 1310 is based on the SAMD21 microcontroller.

Additional I2C Connection Point

The MKR WAN 1310 features an additional connector that extends the I2C data bus. It is a small form-factor 5-pin connector with a 1.0 mm pitch. Mechanical details of the connector can be found on the connector's datasheet.

In Arduino, this is also referred to as the Eslov self-identification port for the I2C bus. It comes with SDA, SCL, GND, +5V, and an additional digital pin to send alerts to normal I2C devices connected to it. The pinout is shown in the image below:

If you are interested in designing your own modules for Arduino boards with this expansion port, we recommend using connector code: SHR-05V-S-B, as shown in the image.
