Not larger, simply higher: Introducing the Nano 33 BLE Rev2

The Nano 33 BLE is one in all our hottest boards, and for good purpose. It’s small and three.3-V-compatible; it comes with an embedded nine-axis IMU that includes accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer; it has a robust processor; it presents a robust Bluetooth® Low Vitality module with an inner antenna that can be utilized to transmit knowledge between totally different units utilizing the ArduinoBLE library; and it may be programmed with MicroPython. 

It’s principally the whole lot you want for initiatives that span from wearable to superior robotics. 

So, why work on making it higher?

As a result of we hearken to our group, that’s why. And based mostly in your requests, we’ve provide you with enhancements to improve your expertise with a revised iteration of the Arduino Nano 33 BLE with a newly built-in IMU to increase experimentation potentialities, and a streamlined PCB design to grant easy accessibility to important options.

And right here is strictly what you could find within the new Rev2, in comparison with its predecessor:

• It has a mix of two IMUs (BMI270 six-axis IMU plus BMM150 three-axis IMU) as a substitute of a single, nine-axis one.
• Whereas retaining the compact kind issue, the brand new Nano 33 BLE Rev2 incorporates new pads and take a look at factors for USB, SWDIO, and SWCLK, making it simpler to entry these essential factors on the board.
• We launched a new VUSB soldering jumper on the highest aspect, permitting you to conveniently allow the VUSB pin whereas utilizing the castellated pins.
• As well as, the Nano 33 BLE Rev2 transitions the energy provide element to the MP2322 to ensure elevated efficiency. 

These updates collectively contribute to a extra streamlined and strong system, prepared so that you can take a look at and construct nearly any IoT challenge – and extra. For instance, the Nano 33 BLE Rev2 remains to be best to management RGB LEDs over Bluetooth^®, utilizing an app in your cellphone, and helps OpenMV’s fork of MicroPython. 

In the event you already know the Nano 33 BLE from its first revision, you possibly can simply migrate your sketches to make use of them with the brand new and improved model: in case you need assistance, simply comply with our devoted tutorial.

After the launch of the Nano ESP32 earlier this yr, it’s the proper addition to the “tiny footprint, mighty options” household that has confirmed time and time once more that we are able to ramp up options and efficiency whereas cutting down measurement. Don’t imagine us? Take a look at the traditional Arduino Nano or improve to the Nano 33 BLE Sense Rev2 if you wish to embody a whole set of sensors, too. 

For full tech specs, tutorials and inspiration on the Nano 33 BLE Rev2, head to the devoted Arduino Docs web page. Able to get your individual? The Nano 33 BLE with headers and with out headers at the moment are accessible on our Retailer.
