Description
The Nicla Sense ME is a very small board, which has 4 low-power, industrial quality sensors and an Arm® Cortex M4 Microcontroller.
With the simplicity of integration and scalability of the Arduino ecosystem, this board allows you to analyze 'Motion' and 'Environment' (Motion & Environment) with state-of-the-art Bosch sensors (Sensortec):
◾ BHI260AP: motion sensor with integrated AI;
◾ BMM150: Magnetometer
◾ BMP390: Pressure sensor
◾ BME688: Gas, pressure, humidity and temperature sensor (4 in 1) with integrated AI, high linearity and low consumption.
Its tiny size and robust design make this sensor suitable for projects that need to combine sensor fusion with AI capabilities, and thanks to the combination of strong computing power and low consumption, it is ready for battery-powered applications. It has a connector for a rechargeable Li-ion/Li-Po battery (3.7V) and a battery recharging circuit. In addition, it also has BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) connectivity, so it can work without any power or communication wires for a long period of time.
This module with sensors and AI is part of the new Nicla family of modular and intelligent Arduino Pro products (easy to use, economical, versatile and accessible). This new family of products, with a tiny form factor, is also compatible with Arduino MKR and Portenta.
