(hosting a programmable recognition system), that handles communication with other sensors on the Arduino Nicla Sense ME via I2C and SPI connections. There is also a dedicated 2MB Flash (U2) used to store execute-in- place (XiP) code as well as data storage, such as Bosch® sensor fusion algorithm (BSX) calibration data. The BHI 260 is capable of loading custom algorithms that can be trained on a PC.
Arduino® Nicla Sense ME 4.7 Bosch® BMM150 3-Axis Magnetometer The Bosch® BMM150 (U4) provides accurate 3-axis measurements of the magnetic field with compass-level accuracy. Combined with the BHI260 IMU (U2), Bosch® sensor fusion can be used to obtain high-accuracy spatial orientation and motion vectors for the detection of heading in autonomous robots as well as predictive maintenance.
Nicla Sense ME Back View The Arduino Nicla Sense ME can be powered via micro USB (J7), ESLOV (J5) or VIN. This is converted into the relevant voltages via the BQ2512BAYFPR IC (U9). A Schottky diode provides reverse polarity protection to the USB and ESLOV voltages.
5.1 Getting Started - IDE If you want to program your Arduino® Nicla Sense ME while offline you need to install the Arduino® Desktop IDE [1] To connect the Arduino® Nicla Sense ME to your computer, you’ll need a micro USB cable. This also provides power to the board, as indicated by the LED.
5.8 Board Recovery All Arduino® boards have a built-in bootloader that allows flashing the board via USB. In case a sketch locks up the processor and the board is not reachable anymore via USB, it is possible to enter bootloader mode by double- tapping the reset button right after the power-up.
