Visualizing Cloud Data in Real Time
Out of the box, all AVR-IoT WA Development Boards are pre-registered to Microchip’s AWS Cloud sandbox account.
This account is set up for demonstration purposes only. All data gathered by the sensors of the AVR-IoT WA
Development Boards are published on the Microchip sandbox account and can be identified by the following details:
Table 2-1. Project Details
Region:
iot.us-east-2
Port:
8883
There is no permanent storage or collection of data published by the boards connected to the Microchip sandbox
account. The full storage catalog of the AWS Cloud features, such as data storage/retention, can be available to the
user with the use of the board once removed from the sandbox and the associated Thing NamePublic Key has been
migrated to a private account.

Publishing data to AWS Cloud
A MQTT publish packet is always sent to the MQTT broker using a specific topic. The AVR-IoT WA Development
Board publishes messages using the topic ‘
thingName/sensors
’ in communication to the AWS cloud. The
messages published on this topic contains the real-time data obtained from the on-board light and temperature
