The Microsoft IoT Pack for Raspberry Pi 3 is a complete starter kit for building Internet of Things projects with Windows 10 IoT Core. Developed in collaboration between Microsoft and Adafruit, it includes a Raspberry Pi 3, sensors, electronic components, and everything needed to get started with IoT development.

The kit features a BME280 temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor, a TCS34725 RGB colour sensor, and an MCP3008 8-channel ADC — all pre-assembled with headers soldered for breadboard use. A full-size breadboard, jumper wires, and a selection of LEDs, resistors, and switches round out the electronic components.
