WCM Development Kit 1 vs edgLink

Microchip's WCM (Wi-Fi Client Module) Development Kit 1 is designed to enable you to quickly and easily connect an embedded system to a cloud-based server, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and allow for remote monitoring and control with this iPhone application. This will reduce the learning curve and help you get connected to the cloud quickly. The WCM Development Kit 1 is available from Microchip Direct.

The edgLink mobile app allows you to connect your EDG IoT devices to an active Wi-Fi Internet connection by applying your SSID network name and password through your phone's bluetooth. The app can also enable cellular connectivity if a cellular connection is supported by the device. Once connected to the Internet, your device will be able to transmit sensor data and receive commands from remote applications through EDG’s cloud infrastructure. This app is designed to be used only with devices designed and manufactured by Engineering Design Group, LLC.
