Nicla Sense Env
Integrate air-quality monitoring into your Portenta or MKR projects, with ultra-low power sensors for both indoor and outdoor environments.
Overview
Expand your Portenta or MKR projects with Nicla Sense Env, and start sensing the world around you. Add a single module to combine three state-of-the-art sensors from Renesas® with the simplicity of integration and scalability of the Arduino ecosystem: an ultra-low power temperature and humidity sensor, and two smart and industrial-grade gas sensors, to evaluate air quality both in indoor and outdoor environments. Thanks to its tiny size (the Nicla family’s signature 22.86 x 22.86 mm) and robust design, Nicla Sense Env is ideal for projects that need to combine sensor fusion with the high computational power of the Portenta family or versatility of a MKR solution.
Like the entire Arduino Nicla family, Nicla Sense Env is modular, smart, easy to use, cost-effective, versatile, and accessible.
Key benefits include:
- Advanced Sensing: Incorporates HS4001 for precise humidity and temperature measurements, and ZMOD4410AI1V and ZMOD4510AI1V for AI-enabled detection of TVOCs, NO2, O3, and other gasses.
- Compact Design: Small form factor (22.86 x 22.86 mm) allows for easy integration into various projects.
- Ultra-Low Power Consumption: Designed for 24/7 operation with minimal power usage.
- Robust and Reliable: Features industrial-grade Renesas sensors, ensuring durability and accuracy.
- Seamless Integration: Connects easily to Portenta boards via ESLOV (I2C) or header pins, supporting Arduino IDE and MicroPython for quick programming.
- Ready to Use: Out-of-the-box compatibility with a variety of libraries and tutorials available through the Arduino ecosystem.
Applications:
- Climate Control Systems: Integrate into HVAC systems to monitor and regulate air quality, humidity, and temperature.
- Automated Air Purifiers: Enhance air purification systems with real-time air quality data for energy-efficient and health-conscious operation.
- Fumes and Fire Detection: Detect dangerous fumes and fire smoke for early warning and safety intervention in various environments.
- Industrial Automation: Implement in heat pump machines and industrial processes for precise monitoring of air quality and detection of toxic substances.
- Prototyping: Ideal for developers using Portenta and MKR boards, providing a ready-to-use solution for environmental monitoring prototypes.

Everything old is new again! Arduino users always amaze us with how they put a fresh spin on the most common objects around us: a clock, a board game, a computer... anything can inspire the exciting new entries they share on Project Hub. These are the three builds we selected from August’s uploads to highlight our community’s advanced skills, resourcefulness, and creativity. 3. Have the time of your life with this advanced Nixie tube clock As the saying goes, "With great power comes great responsibility." if you have the electronics knowledge to work in total safety, assembling this fun retro clock is a great opportunity to show off your skills and ingenuity at the same time. Using an Arduino UNO and a Nixie tube – which, unlike an LED, operates at high voltage and therefore must be handled with care – you can read the time off a unique display, even from across the room. Combine multiple tubes to showcase different information! 2. Learn to play a classic game in a modern way To make or not to make was never the question! We have no doubt you can follow this tutorial to create your own digital version of the traditional Othello game: learn to play, practice, and win – even with minimal hardware. In fact, you can get away with only the Arduino Nano Every board, the Arduino IDE, and a cable to connect the two. 1. Build a computer so portable it fits into your pocket It’s the stuff of vintage spy movies, but blends into today’s reality – where custom technology can truly be at your fingertips at all times thanks to new, accessible components. Based on two 2023 releases from Arduino – the Nano ESP32 and UNO R4 – yokonav’s debut contribution to Project Hub demonstrates how to stack hardware to form a small, functional computer that runs on Linux. For your chance to be selected for a $100, $300 or even $500 gift card to spend on the Arduino Store, submit your best project on Project Hub! We will be awarding three new
