Nicla Sense ME
Bring smart sensing solutions to the edge, with the high-performance, low-power board that packs state-of-the-art Bosch Sensortec technology into our smallest form factor yet.
Overview
The Nicla Sense ME is a tiny, low-power tool that sets a new standard for intelligent sensing solutions. With the simplicity of integration and scalability of the Arduino ecosystem, the board combines four state-of-the-art sensors from Bosch Sensortec:
- BHI260AP motion sensor system with integrated AI
- BMM150 magnetometer
- BMP390 pressure sensor
- BME688 4-in-1 gas sensor with AI and integrated high-linearity, as well as high-accuracy pressure, humidity and temperature sensors.
Designed to easily analyze motion and the surrounding environment – hence the “M” and “E” in the name – it measures rotation, acceleration, pressure, humidity, temperature, air quality and CO2 levels by introducing completely new Bosch Sensortec sensors on the market.
Its tiny size and robust design make it suitable for projects that need to combine sensor fusion and AI capabilities on the edge, thanks to a strong computational power and low-consumption combination that can even lead to standalone applications when battery operated.
Part of Arduino Pro’s new Nicla family of modular, intelligent products that are easy to use, cost effective, versatile and accessible, the Sense ME has a new, tiny form factor that is also compatible with the Arduino MKR and Portenta ranges.

Everyone in the world of smart and digital automation is getting ready to meet at SPS in Nuremberg. It’s the place to be if you want to see the future come to life – and of course a great opportunity to get to know Arduino better, with live demos and the chance to talk directly to our experts. Come visit booth 5-338 to discover our growing ecosystem of solutions and see it in action! “Since the 2022 edition of SPS, we’ve launched dozens of components, released software upgrades and added new services. But that’s only half the story. What we strive to achieve is to enable millions of Arduino users to imagine, implement and truly innovate. Our mission is to make technology accessible to all, to see people achieve the impossible. The maker philosophy may have started with tinkering in a messy garage, but has evolved into a distinct professional approach that allows everyone to seize the opportunities that come with the most disruptive phenomena of the present.”– Adriano Chinello, Pro Business Unit Leader at Arduino Without doubt, automation is one of the strongest trends we see today, with huge potential for future development. That’s why the applications we’ll showcase at SPS run the gamut from super-powerful edge computing to energy monitoring systems. For example, in Nuremberg you can check out how the Portenta X8 combines with the Portenta Max Carrier to deploy a secure, industrial-grade Linux computer – ready to interact with equipment in the factory or integrate with existing smart kiosks by creating a multi-protocol gateway that collects data from various onsite controllers, processes them and sends them to the Cloud via Wi-Fi, LoRa®, NB/IoT or LTE Cat.M1. Or you can find out how the Portenta Machine Control can be integrated in an electric panel to monitor consumption and other energy-related parameters... or team up with a Nicla Vision to control a robotic arm that automatically picks items from a conveyor belt and places
