Commercially available from April 08’th 2018, the xyz-mIoT v2.09 by itbrainpower.net is the worldwide first and most compact (35x45mm / around 7g) IoT board in this class, class that combines the functionality of the low power Arm® Cortex®-M0 32-bit SAMD21G microcontroller (in Arduino Zero / MKR compatible design) with embedded THS + tVOC + HALL + IR + tilt / vibration sensors and global low power LTE (CATM1 or NB-IoT) / LTE / 3G / GSM connectivity.


Built around Microchip / ATMEL ATSAMD21G ARM0 microcontroller and having integrated Lithium battery (LiPO / LiION) charger, the xyz-mIoT shields support endless devices / sensors / actuators interfacing via abundant 3.3V compliant interfaces (1 * I2C, 1 * SPI, 1 * UART, 13 * digital I/O - 1WIRE and PWM capable, 5 analog inputs and more) and providing support for solar powered applications and for primer Lithium battery powered low power applications (down to 35-37uA total shield sleep current).

Special ultra low power (ULP*) versions for Lithium Primer battery applications may reach even 5-7uA deep sleep total shield current.
* for ULP / LP versions info can be found in product pages

About embedded modem* - In order to fit your application requirements the xyz-mIoT shield commercially available in basic variant (no embedded modem) or equipped with various modems:

Other variants as ultra low power versions LTE / 2G global modems may be available as samples and in high volume batches for selected partners.

Talking about embedded sensors*, the xyz-mIoT shield may have 0 up to 6 integrated sensors, as:
  • high accuracy THS (temperature and humidity sensors) – TI HDC2010,
  • tVOC & CO2 (air quality sensor - total volatile organic compounds and carbon dioxide) – AMS CCS811,
  • HALL (magnetic sensor) - DRV5032 or IR (infrared sensor) KP-2012P3C,
  • secondary IR (infrared sensor) - KP-2012P3C,
  • TILT (movement vibration sensor) - SW200D or REED (magnetic sensor)


The xyz-mIoT by itbrainpower.net shields are Arduino programmable and are supported by RTCC, WDT, low power and other Arduino libraries.


GETTING STARTED posts containing powering, low power / solar cell powering tips and tricks and interfacing guidelines for GSM / low power modems, ethernet, WIFI, LORA, SD card reader, TFT displays, sensors, relays and other modules, together with CLOUD integration examples can be found in projects section.

Proudly designed and manufactured by R&D Software Solutions in the European Union.


First xyz-mIoT shield has been released in 2018.
