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.
