Overview
Nicla Vision allows you to build your next smart project. Ever wanted an automated house? Or a smart garden? Well, now it’s easy with the Arduino IoT Cloud compatible boards. It means: you can connect devices, visualize data, control and share your projects from anywhere in the world. Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, we have a wide range of plans to make sure you get the features you need.
Nicla Vision combines a powerful STM32H747AII6 Dual ARM® Cortex® M7/M4 IC processor with a 2MP color camera that supports TinyML, as well as a smart 6-axis motion sensor, integrated microphone and distance sensor.
You can easily include it into any project because it’s designed to be compatible with all Arduino Portenta and MKR products, fully integrates with OpenMV, supports MicroPython and also offers both WiFi and Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity. It’s so compact – with its 22.86 x 22.86 mm form factor – it can physically fit into most scenarios, and requires so little energy it can be powered by battery for standalone applications.
All of this makes Nicla Vision the ideal solution to develop or prototype with on-device image processing and machine vision at the edge, for asset tracking, object recognition, predictive maintenance and more – easier and faster than ever. Train it to spot details, so you can focus on the big picture.
Key benefits include:
- Tiny form factor of 22.86 x 22.86 mm
- Powerful processor to host intelligence on the edge
- Packed with a 2MP color camera that supports TinyML, smart 6-axis motion sensor, microphone and distance sensor
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity
- Supports MicroPython
- Standalone when battery powered
- Expand existing project with sensing capabilities, make MV prototyping faster
Automate anything
Check every product is labeled before it leaves the production line; unlock doors only for authorized personnel, and only if they are wearing PPE correctly; use AI to train Nicla Vision to regularly check analog meters and beam readings to the Cloud; teach it to recognize thirsty crops and turn the irrigation on when needed.
Anytime you need to act or make a decision depending on what you see, let Nicla Vision watch, decide and act for you.
Feel seen
Interact with kiosks with simple gestures, create immersive experiences, work with cobots at your side. Nicla Vision allows computers and smart devices to see you, recognize you, understand your movements and make your life easier, safer, more efficient, better.
Keep an eye out
Let Nicla Vision be your eyes: detecting animals on the other side of the farm, letting you answer your doorbell from the beach, constantly checking on the vibrations or wear of your industrial machinery.
It’s your always-on, always precise lookout, anywhere you need it to be.

Install FLECS Marketplace on the Portenta X8
FLECS and Arduino Pro are partnering to make Industry 4.0 easier for you. FLECS is the easy-to-configure and open-source platform that allows industrial users to work with automation solutions dedicated to their machinery just as easily as we all handle the apps on our phone: install, manage and configure via web interface, and let the system keep track of versions and ensure updates. All you need is a Portenta X8 – our powerful, industrial-grade SOM with Linux OS preloaded onboard: connect it to your computer via USB, install FLECS for free (with, literally, one line of code), and access the FLECS UI to pick the right solution for production control, communication, SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition), data analysis, fleet management and more. Deploying Linux applications has never been more straightforward: we could say it’s as easy as 1-2-3 – except there are actually only 2 steps to the whole process. “We are excited to offer the huge Arduino user community immediate access to our automation applications, so anyone can build and boost a wide variety of solutions for industrial contexts. It’s all made possible by Portenta X8, a groundbreaking product bringing Linux into the Arduino ecosystem.” – Patric Scholz, Managing Director at FLECS Indeed, while on one side you can now leverage all FLECS solutions in a few commands and clicks, on the other you will be working with one of Arduino Pro’s highest-performance modules: Portenta X8 is basically two industrial products in one, with the power of no less than 9 cores (an NXP i.MX 8M Mini Arm® Cortex®-A53 quad-core, up to 1.8GHz per core + 1x Cortex-M4 up to 400MHz, plus the STMicroelectronics STM32H747 dual-core Cortex-M7 up to 480MHz +M4 32-bit MCU up to 240MHz). And of course, the “superpower” of all Arduino products: being part of a comprehensive ecosystem of open-source hardware, software solutions, Cloud services and amazing community-based support.
