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
If you’re looking for an ever faster, smoother, and more rewarding way to build your own IoT projects at home, the new MKR IoT Carrier Rev2 could be perfect for you. The new carrier can work with any board from the MKR family, giving you a wide choice of connectivity options to match the needs of your next IoT project. The MKR IoT Carrier Rev2 doesn't require any additional components to get started, and you can create impressive and complete hassle-free projects this way. What does the carrier include? You’ll get all the sensors and actuators you need to develop IoT projects and connect them to the internet, taking your home automation journey to the next level. Let’s take a quick look at what you can build with the MKR IoT Carrier Rev2 and any board from the MKR family. Environment monitoring stations. The new carrier comes with sensors that allow you to map and measure various things in the world around you — temperature, humidity, air quality, barometric pressure, and more. You can also track the movement of the board. For even more sensory awareness, you can connect analog or I2C grove compatible modules to the grove connectors. You can store the data you collect in the SD card or send it directly to the Arduino IoT Cloud. GUI IoT interface. Visualizing your data is incredibly important — and the Rev2 comes with its own OLED color display, allowing you to create your own navigation menus. You can also use the included LEDs and buzzer for feedback. Connect to and control external devices. The IoT is all about networks, and with the Rev2 you can control electronic devices up to 24 Volts using the two on-board relays. You can do this manually — like switching your reading lamp on or off via the Arduino IoT Cloud Remote app, or you can set the lamp to behave according to sensor data like the light levels in the room. The MKR IoT Carrier vs the MKR IoT Carrier Rev2 — what’s the difference? There are a few key differences
