The Arduino Nicla Sense Env is a compact, sensor-rich development board designed to monitor environmental conditions and interface with embedded systems for data acquisition. It integrates multiple sensors into a small form factor (22.86 × 22.86 mm), enabling measurement of key parameters such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, air quality, and ambient light. The board is built around an nRF52832 microcontroller from Nordic Semiconductor, which provides low-power processing and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity, making it suitable for wireless sensor applications where power efficiency and compact integration are important.
Onboard sensing components include a BME688 from Bosch for gas, humidity, pressure, and temperature measurement, a LTR-507ALS light sensor for visible and infrared intensity, and other sensors optimized for air quality and environmental monitoring. This combination allows the board to detect conditions relevant to both indoor and outdoor environments, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and general air quality indices. The integration of multiple sensors onto one board reduces design complexity and makes it easier to prototype systems requiring a diverse set of environmental inputs.
From a hardware perspective, the Nicla Sense Env features I²C and SPI communication interfaces in addition to BLE, allowing it to connect directly to other microcontroller boards, data loggers, or gateways in an IoT network. Its small size and low power consumption support deployment in battery-powered systems, and the inclusion of a Li-Po battery charging circuit simplifies portable use cases. Engineers can configure the board as a standalone wireless sensor node or as part of a larger sensor fusion system.
Applications of the Nicla Sense Env span indoor air quality monitoring, smart building systems, industrial sensing, environmental data collection, and IoT edge devices. Its ability to provide real-time data on multiple environmental variables makes it useful for research, prototyping, and integration into connected systems where accurate and compact environmental sensing is required. For engineers, the board serves as a platform to evaluate sensor performance, design low-power data acquisition systems, and develop distributed sensing networks. To learn more, visit Mouser.com.
