Arduino Nicla Sense Env

Arduino Nicla Sense Env combines three state-of-the-art sensors from Renesas with the simplicity of integration and scalability of the Arduino ecosystem. The board features an ultra-low-power temperature and humidity sensor, with two smart integrated and industrial-grade gas sensors, allowing air quality evaluation in indoor and outdoor environments. Adding the Nicla Sense Env expands Portenta or MKR projects.

The Arduino Nicla Sense Env's robust design and tiny size of 22.86mm x 22.86mm make it ideal for projects that incorporate sensor fusion and the high computing power of the Portenta family.
