Intelligently control an HVAC system using the Arduino Nicla Vision
Reading Time: 2 minutesShortly after setting the desired temperature of a room, a building’s HVAC system will engage and work to either raise or lower the ambient temperature to match. While this approach generally works well to control the local environment, the strategy also leads to tremendous wastes of energy since it is unable to…

Count elevator passengers with the Nicla Vision and Edge Impulse
Reading Time: 3 minutesModern elevators are powerful, but they still have a payload limit. Most will contain a plaque with the maximum number of passengers (a number based on their average weight with lots of room for error). But nobody has ever read the capacity limit when stepping into an elevator or worried about exceeding…

Reading analog gauges with the Nicla Vision
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — August 13th, 2022 Analog instruments are everywhere and used to measure pressure, temperature, power levels, and much more. Due to the advent of digital sensors, many of these became quickly obsolete, leaving the remaining ones to require either conversions to a digital format or frequent human monitoring. However, the…

LEGO-firing turret targets tender tootsies
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — August 4th, 2022 Stepping on LEGO bricks is a meme for a reason: it really @#$%&! hurts. LEGO brick design is ingenious, but the engineers did not consider the ramifications of their minimalist construction system. We’ve seen people do crazy things for Internet points, such as walk across a…

Monitoring IV fluid bag levels with the Arduino Portenta H7 and Vision Shield
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — June 22nd, 2022 When a patient is receiving intravenous (IV) fluids, it is vital that air is not introduced into the line, as its presence can create issues such as excessive pressure or even embolisms that can be life-threatening. Normally, the level of fluids remaining within the bag is…

Estimating indoor CO2 levels using tinyML and computer vision
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — May 6th, 2022 The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to how clean our indoor environments are, and by measuring the CO2 levels within a room, infection risks can be approximated since more CO2 is correlated with poor ventilation. Software engineer Swapnil Verma had the idea to use computer vision to…
