Gravity: UART OBLOQ – IOT Module (Microsoft Azure)

If you're new to the Internet of Things (IoT), the DFRobot OBLOQ module is your gateway to this exciting world. The essence of IoT lies in user experience, integrating embedded system, mobile, and network technologies into a smart system that unifies hardware, software, and network services. The Gravity: UART OBLOQ is a WiFi to Serial device tailored for non - professional developers. It supports standard MQTT protocol IoT services like Microsoft Azure IoT. With this module, you can quickly build IoT applications without in - depth IoT knowledge, allowing you to focus on creating interesting IoT projects. Designed around the ESP8266 WiFi chip, OBLOQ is compact, affordable, has a simple interface, and is plug - and - play. It operates stably within a 3.3V - 5V control system. Here are some key details: **Microsoft Azure IoT**: A public cloud platform that enables enterprises to run applications over the Internet, facilitating rapid development, deployment, and management across multiple data centers. **Features**: It has a built - in low - power 32 - bit CPU that can serve as an application processor, a TCP/IP stack, WPA WPA2/WPA2 - PSK encryption, and supports connections to standard MQTT protocols and TTL serial ports for wireless applications. **Specification**: Operating voltage ranges from 3.3 - 5V, supply voltage from 3.3 - 5.5V, baud rate is 9600 bps, wireless frequency is 2.4GHz, interface type is Gravity UART 4PIN, wireless mode is IEEE802.11b/g/n, SRAM is 160KB, external flash is 4MB, it supports low power consumption (less than 240mA), dimensions are 35mm * 32mm (1.38inch * 1.26inch), and it weighs 16g. You can find product wiki and more documents related to Microsoft Azure IoT.

Using the Gravity UART OBLOQ - IoT Module for Microsoft Azure is easy. First, connect the module to your device using the Gravity UART 4PIN interface. Make sure your device's supply voltage is within the 3.3 - 5.5V range and the operating voltage is between 3.3 - 5V. Once connected, you can start setting up the module to connect to your WiFi network. Use the supported encryption types like WPA WPA2/WPA2 - PSK to secure your connection. After that, you can connect it to the Microsoft Azure IoT platform and start building your IoT applications. When using the module, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Also, make sure the baud rate of your device is set to 9600 bps to ensure proper communication. For maintenance, keep the module clean and free from dust. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a dry and cool place. With these simple steps, you can make the most of your Gravity UART OBLOQ - IoT Module.
