Arduino Pro and Bosch Sensortec are collaborating on a new single board computer featuring the latest generation of Bosch sensors.

Called Nicla Sense ME, the board features a nine degrees of freedom (DoF) smart motion sensor and a four DoF environmental sensor with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. The co-branded board can be used for applications in the internet of things (IoT) market.

Sensors in the board include:

  • BHI260AP AI sensor system with integrated motion sensor
  • BMM150 magnetometer
  • BMP390 pressure sensor
  • BME688 4-in-1 gas sensor with AI and integrated high-linearity and high-accuracy pressure, humidity and temperature sensors.

The board can sense and process different types of data on the edge to increase autonomy and reduce latency and power consumption while offering improved privacy and less bandwidth.

The companies said the single board computer could be used in smart building automation, mobile and wearable devices, and industrial and professional equipment markets.
