Overview

The Arduino Nicla Vision is a compact, industrial-grade development board powered by the STM32H747AI dual-core Arm Cortex-M7/M4 microcontroller. Measuring just 22.85mm square, it integrates a color camera, a 6-axis IMU, a microphone, and a Time-of-Flight sensor for advanced on-device edge AI and machine vision applications. The board features built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity alongside a secure element for encrypted communication.

Why Choose This Part

The board provides high-performance computing with a 480MHz Cortex-M7 core while maintaining a small form factor suitable for integration into wearable or space-constrained hardware. It includes a comprehensive sensor suite including battery monitoring and a secure element, reducing the need for external peripherals in sensitive IoT applications.

Applications

Industrial Quality Control
Utilize the onboard color camera and dual-core processing to perform automated optical inspection and defect detection on production lines.
Edge AI and Gesture Recognition
Combine the 6-axis IMU and Time-of-Flight sensor with TinyML models to enable touchless human-machine interfaces.
Wireless Sensor Nodes
Deploy low-power monitoring stations that process video and audio locally, transmitting only relevant data via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
