Easily prototype your Portenta applications. Deploy in zero time.
 

Overview

Max Carrier transforms Portenta modules into single-board computers or reference designs that enable edge AI for high-performance industrial, building automation and robotics applications.
Thanks to dedicated high-density connectors, it can be paired with Portenta X8 or H7, allowing you to easily prototype and deploy your industrial projects.
This Arduino Pro carrier further augments Portenta connectivity options with Fieldbus, LoRa®, Cat-M1 and NB-IoT.
Among the many available plug-and-play connectors there are Ethernet, USB-A, audio jacks, microSD, mini-PCIe, FD-CAN and Serial RS232/422/485.
Max Carrier can be powered via external supply (6-36V) or battery via the onboard 18650 Li-ion battery connector with 3.7V battery charger.

Key benefits include:
  • Easily prototype industrial applications and minimize time to market
  • A powerful carrier exposing Portenta peripherals (e.g. CAN, RS232/422/485, USB, mPCIe)
  • Multiple connectivity options (Ethernet, LoRa®, CAT-M1, NB-IoT)
  • MicroSD for data logging operations
  • Integrated audio jacks (line-in, line-out, mic-in)
  • Standalone when battery powered
  • Onboard JTAG debugger via micro-USB (with Portenta H7 only)
     
Prototyping on Portenta projects

The Arduino Portenta Max Carrier is designed to assist developers with their prototypes by exposing the main peripherals of the high-density connectors of the Portenta family boards (H7 and X8). It allows for easy debugging through the JTAG connector and for inspection of the CAN lines through the pins. At the same time, it is the right tool to test Ethernet connectivity as well as to extend connectivity options (CAT-M1, NB-IoT and LoRa®).

… magnetic reed switch, but building the game himself in Unity. He had to construct and animate models for himself, the bike, and the scenery. After adding an AI and ranking system to the game, he was able to successfully race within the virtual environment on a real bike. Responsive LED system Motivated by the desire for a more advanced lighting system while on her nighttime bike rides, Natasha (TechnoChic) decided to affix strips of NeoPixel LEDs all over her bike that could react to music in real-time. The LEDs are controlled by an Arduino Nano 33 IoT that is, in turn, connected to her boombox via a 3.5mm audio jack for reading the audio signal. Two additional Nano 33 IoT boards were used for the wheels, along with more NeoPixels and batteries for each. GPS tracker Bicycle theft has been rapidly increasing over the last couple of years, which is why being able to recover a stolen bike has become vital. Johan’s bike tracker project contains an Arduino MKR GSM 1400 which reads motion data from an IMU and uses it to determine if the bike has moved when it is not supposed to. Once movement is detected, the board reads GPS data from a MKR GPS Shield and sends it over an LTE data connection in real-time so that the bike can be found. Integrated safety features The majority of mountain bikes lack useful safety features such as integrated lights, turn signals, and speed tracking, which is why Collin Wentzien embarked on his “(not so) electric bike” project. He built a series of features, including automatic brake/turn lights, a headlight, and an electronic horn with the goal of improving safety. Furthermore, his bike also got a bike computer upgrade which contains an Arduino Mega, GPS module, and dual screens for displaying relevant telemetry data. Speedometer display After losing the display unit for her bike computer, Element14 Presents host Katie wanted to replace it with a DIY version that tracked the current speed
