This tutorial is focused on bringing out all the different types of Arduino development boards and doing a quick comparison of their features and applications so that you will be able to make a better choice when you want something more than the popular UNO and nano boards.

The Arduino MKR1000 stands for “Maker 1000”. This small form factored board by Arduino is aimed at building IOT projects since it comes with an on-board Wi-Fi feature. It also runs on 32-bit architecture making it faster and more reliable with encryption features.
