Quickly and Easily Create Intelligent IoT Endpoints with the Arduino Nicla Sense ME and Bosch Sensortec Sensors

Enabling AI/ML development for Arduino Nicla Sense ME board allows developers to add local intelligence to IoT endpoint applications using Bosch Sensortec Sensors

SensiML’s complete AI/ML development environment complements the Arduino board, making it easy for Bosch Sensortec sensor users to create low power yet highly intelligent endpoints without needing large teams of data scientists or previous AI expertise. Together, the SensiML Analytics Toolkit, Arduino Nicla Sense ME board, and the Bosch Sensortec sensors create a complete end-to-end smart IoT endpoint solution.

The Arduino Nicla Sense ME Board

The Arduino Nicla Sense ME board is physically small and comes with a 64 MHz 32-bit Arm® Cortex-M4 processor along with motion, environmental, pressure, and magnetic sensors from Bosch. Additional sensors can be easily added using the built-in SPI or I2C interfaces. The ultra-low power consumption and tiny size (less than one square inch) of the Nicla Sense ME board enables IoT developers to install complete, intelligent endpoints right at the sensing point.

Benefits

  • Tiny form factor board enables intelligent endpoints right at the sensing point
  • Supports rapid time-to-market with Arduino Pro module and SensiML AutoML code-generation
  • Multiple Bosch Sensortec sensors enable innovative IoT solutions involving motion, pressure, and environmental sensing

“Smart, tiny, ultra-low power and autonomous IoT endpoints are the wave of the future. That’s why we worked with Arduino to develop the Nicla Sense ME board and with SensiML to support the board and our Sensortec sensors with sophisticated AI/AutoML development tools."
