Product Details
The Nicla Sense ME is a super - compact, low - power device that revolutionizes intelligent sensing. It leverages the simplicity of integration and scalability of the Arduino ecosystem. This board comes equipped with four top - notch sensors from Bosch Sensortec: a BHI260AP motion sensor with integrated AI, a BMM150 magnetometer, a BMP390 pressure sensor, and a BME688 4 - in - 1 gas sensor with AI and high - accuracy environmental sensors. It's designed to effortlessly analyze motion and the surrounding environment, measuring rotation, acceleration, pressure, humidity, temperature, air quality, and CO2 levels. Its small size and sturdy design make it perfect for edge projects that require sensor fusion and AI capabilities. With strong computational power and low consumption, it can even work as a standalone device when battery - operated. It's part of Arduino Pro's new Nicla family of modular, user - friendly, cost - effective, and versatile products, and is compatible with the Arduino MKR and Portenta ranges. Key features include tiny size with lots of features, low power consumption, the ability to add sensing to existing projects, a powerful processor for edge intelligence, and BLE connectivity for maximum compatibility. It also offers 24/7 ultra - low - power sensor data processing. The board has a 64 MHz Arm® Cortex M4 microcontroller, multiple sensors, various I/O options, Bluetooth® 4.2 connectivity, multiple power sources, sufficient memory, a USB interface with debug functionality, and small dimensions of 22.86 mm x 22.86 mm and a weight of 2g. There are also several useful documents available for it.
Using the Nicla Sense ME is easy. First, connect it to a power source. You can use a Micro USB, a pin header, or a 3.7V Li - po battery. Once powered, it starts collecting data from its sensors right away. To integrate it into your project, use the I/O pins. The Castellated pins provide different communication options like I2C, serial port, and SPI. When using it in battery - powered mode, be aware that its low power consumption means long - lasting operation, but you should still check the battery level regularly. To maintain it, keep it in a clean and dry environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you want to update the firmware or access sensor data, use the USB interface with debug functionality. You can refer to the 'Getting Started with Nicla Sense ME' document for more detailed steps and troubleshooting tips.
