Really looking forward to Session 2 for example applications.

My project (Rev 1 ) for Better World with Arduino uses discrete IO to an Arduino Nano (old bootloader) to be published in a couple days to Project 14.

Version 2 of my project is to apply Nicla sensor using I2C with an Arduino Nano to the same application, the Nicla sensor replacing the discrete IO.

Version 3 of my project expands the workscope using the Nicla as a sensor cluster and GPIO connecting using BLE to Arduino Nano 33 Sense.

I was looking for examples to get started using Nicla over I2C to an old Arduino Nano and then examples of Arduino Nano Sense 33 BLE to Nicla.

P.S. Still I havent solved why Nicla wont compile on my PC when Arduino IDE references the MATLAB Support Package.

My normal starting point is using Arduino IDE examples for learning and debugging. Do these examples exist in the Arduino IDE ?

Using 1.8.19 IDE , selecting Nicla Sense as BOARD, there is an example program for Arduino BHY2/APP to load the Nicla, but how to see a max case examples for the Nano(Old Bootloader) and Nano Sense 33 ? Thanks for any suggestions.

Arduino Nano is BOARD

Arduino Nano 33 SENSE is BOARD

Using OLD bootloader and a legacy Arduino Nano, using example code for WIRE \ I2C SCANNER , NICLA came to life and the Nano recognized Nicla I2C address x055.

YAY best progress for the week with Nicla for me. The Nicla J1 & J2 connectors are easily confused- so lucky that one is 9 pins and the other is 8 pins. Pin 1 is also hard to identify in J1 & J2. Onto figure out the mapping.

The Version 1 of my Better World with Arduino Project is submitted, a talking bicycle helmet forpolitely passing pedestrians.

Version 2 and/or Version 3 of this project use the Nicla Sense ME to detect head motion to activate turn helmet signals and audio tracks.

I look forward to todays webinar to help me learn how to use the Nicla Sense for this project.

Hi, is there a tare function for the BHI260 and BMM150?

It is always very interesting to listen to Enrico, he is an inexhaustible source of ideas and applications and manages to find how to best use a board.

Thanks Enrico and thanks to my compatriot Furio and Tariq, following a webinar on Saturday afternoon is really relaxing!

Thanks Enrico, Furio and Tariq, really appreciate the Saturday webinar and a chance to learn more about the Nicla. It is good to be reminded the Nicla is still is maturing and developing concept, to be patient and work out the little things with it as it grows.
