Machine Vision Bundle
A rapid solution for embedded machine learning (ML) combining vision, audio and connectivity. Open the lenses to a new territory of lean and efficient image processing applications for your Arduino projects.
Overview
The Arduino Portenta Vision Shield is a production-ready expansion for the powerful Arduino Portenta H7. It adds a low-power camera, two microphones, and connectivity; everything you need for the rapid development of edge ML applications.
The Portenta H7 simultaneously runs high-level code along with real-time tasks. The
H7's main processor is a dual-core STM32H747 including a Cortex® M7 running at 480MHz and a Cortex® M4 running at 240MHz. The two cores communicate via a Remote Procedure Call mechanism that allows seamless calling of functions on the other processor.
Both processors share all the in-chip peripherals and can run:
- Arduino sketches on top of the Arm® Mbed™ OS
- Native Mbed™ applications
MicroPython / JavaScript (via an interpreter)
TensorFlow™ Lite
Moreover, the onboard wireless module allows the simultaneous management of WiFi and Bluetooth® connectivity on the Portenta H7.
The Portenta Vision Shield brings industry-rated vision and audio capabilities to your Portenta H7. This hardware add-on lets you run embedded computer vision applications, connect wirelessly or via Ethernet to the Arduino Cloud or your own infrastructure, and activate your system using sound detection.
The Vision shield comes with a 324x324 pixels camera module that contains an ultra low power image sensor designed for always-on vision devices and applications. The high sensitivity image sensors can capture gestures, ambient light, proximity sensing and object identification.
There’s a plethora of applications you can deploy with Portenta H7 and Portenta Vision Shield. The demonstration below shows how to implement an accurate digits recognition system using Edge Impulse. Digits recognition using computer vision is desirable in many application and market areas, such as grocery retail, manufacturing, utility metering, and administration.
Learn how to implement accurate digit recognition using Edge Impulse.

Easy data logging with grove sensors using the MKR Connector Carrier and MKR boards
Say hello to the newest member of the Arduino family! The MKRZero--now available on our stores at the price of $21.90/€20.90 (+ tax)--shrinks the functionality of the Arduino Zero down into an Arduino MKR1000 form factor, making it a great educational tool for learning about 32-bit application development. Like the Zero, the latest board is based on a Microchip SAM D21 ARM Cortex®-M0+ MCU. An integrated SD connector with dedicated SPI interfaces (SPI1) allows you to play with files without any extra hardware, while an analog converter enables you to monitor its battery voltage. The MKRZero’s features in a nutshell: small form factor number crunching capability low power consumption integrated battery management USB host integrated SD management programmable SPI, I2C and UART Interested? You can explore the MKRZero in more detail, including its technical documentation, via the links below: Product Page Getting Started Guide Tutorials on Project Hub Make a ScheduledDataLogging Create a I2S synth generator (theremin) Read battery voltage Make it rain On the software side: If you use the Arduino IDE, you will need to add the new Intel SAMD Core, selecting Tools menu, then Boards, and last Boards Manager on the Arduino Software (IDE). If you use Arduino Web Editor, everything is already updated! Watch out music makers, we’ve got some news for you! We have released two libraries for your enjoyment: Arduino Sound library - a simple way to play and analyze audio data using Arduino on SAM D21-based boards. I2S library - to use the I2S protocol on SAMD21-based boards. For those who don’t know, I2S (Inter-IC Sound) is an electrical serial bus interface standard for connecting digital audio devices.
