Platform: LinkIt Smart 7688 /7688 Duo

LinkIt Smart 7688 and LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo are part of the LinkIt IoT platform, providing hardware development kits (HDKs) for user to develop prototypes of IoT devices. They can insteract with App Inventor through Wi-Fi.

LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo

The LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo development board uses MT7688AN as its MPU, complemented by an ATmega32U4 MCU. In addition to application development in Python, Node.js and native C for MT7688AN, applications for the MCU can be developed using the Arduino IDE.

Key features:

• Supports Wi-Fi, USB host and SD cards
• Pin-out for MT7688AN: Ethernet, USB Host and UART
• Pin-out for on-board MCU: ADC, PWM, I2C, SPI, and UART
• Open hardware board reference design including schematic, layouts and pin details.

LinkIt Smart 7688

The LinkIt Smart 7688 development board uses MT7688AN as a standalone MPU and supports application development in Python, Node.js and native C programming languages.

Key features:

• Supports Wi-Fi, USB host and SD cards
• Pin-out for PWM, I2C, SPI, UART, Ethernet, and I2S
• Open hardware board reference design including schematic, layouts and pin details.
