The Arduino Nano is a small, complete, and breadboard-friendly board based on the ATmega328P (Arduino Nano 3.x). It has more or less the same functionality of the Arduino Duemilanove, but in a different package. It lacks only a DC power jack, and works with a Mini-B USB cable instead of a standard one.	Perfect for everyday projects, this board is Arduino's 5 V Board in the smallest form factor available: 45x18mm! The Arduino Nano Every is an evolution of the traditional Arduino Nano, but featuring a lot more powerful processor, the ATMega4809. This will allow you making larger programs than with the Arduino Uno (it has 50% more program memory), and with a lot more variables (the RAM is 200% bigger).	On-board WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity using a u-blox module, the NINA-W10, a low power chipset operating in the 2.4GHz range. A cheap and easy point of entry for enabling IoT on existing devices (and creating new ones) or for designing pico-network applications. Can be used for applications such as building a sensor network connected to your router, or a BLE device sending data to a cellphone Secure communication is ensured through the Microchip ECC608 crypto chip. A 6 axis IMU, makes this board perfect for simple vibration alarm systems, pedometers, relative positioning of robots, etc.
Microcontroller: ATMEGA328 Operating Voltage: 5V Analog Inputs: 8 Memory: 32 KB FLASH, 2KB SRAM	Microcontroller: ATMEGA4809 Operating Voltage: 5V Analog Inputs: 8 Memory: 48 KB FLASH, 6KB SRAM	Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth Microcontroller: ATSAMD21G18 Operating Voltage: 3.3V Input Voltage: 5V Memory: 256 KB Flash, 32 KB SRAM


Nano 33 BLE - Giving away 5 for Project Proposals that use them!	Nano 33 BLE Sense - Giving away 5 for Project Proposals that use them!
A Bluetooth 5 board that is perfect for wearables, motion tracking, environment monitoring, and other IoT sensing using its mesh networking support. The Nano 33 BLE (without headers) is Arduino’s 3.3V compatible board in the smallest available form factor: 45x18mm! The Arduino Nano 33 BLE is an evolution of the traditional Arduino Nano, but featuring a lot more powerful processor, the nRF52840 from Nordic Semiconductors, a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 CPU running at 64 MHz. This will allow you to make larger programs than with the Arduino Uno (it has 1MB of program memory, 32 times bigger), and with a lot more variables (the RAM is 128 times bigger). The main processor includes other amazing features like Bluetooth pairing via NFC and ultra low power consumption modes. The Nano 33 BLE comes with a 9 axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) which means that it includes an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer with 3-axis resolution each. This makes the Nano 33 BLE the perfect choice for more advanced robotics experiments, exercise trackers, digital compasses, etc. If you used Arduino Nano in your projects in the past, the Nano 33 BLE is a pin-equivalent substitute. Your code will still work, but remember, it operates at 3.3V. This means that you need to revise your original design in case it is not 3.3V compatible. Besides that, the main differences to the classic Nano are: a better processor, a micro-USB connector, and a 9 axis IMU. The communications chipset on the Nano 33 BLE can be both a BLE and Bluetooth client and host device. Something pretty unique in the world of microcontroller platforms.	The Nano 33 BLE Sense (without headers) is Arduino’s 3.3V AI enabled board in the smallest available form factor: 45x18mm! The Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense is a completely new board on a well-known form factor. It comes with a series of embedded sensors: 9 axis inertial sensor: what makes this board ideal for wearable devices humidity, and temperature sensor: to get highly accurate measurements of the environmental conditions microphone: to capture and analyse sound in real time gesture, proximity, light color and light intensity sensor : estimate the room’s luminosity, but also whether someone is moving close to the board The Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense is an evolution of the traditional Arduino Nano, but featuring a lot more powerful processor, the nRF52840 from Nordic Semiconductors, a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M4 CPU running at 64 MHz. This will allow you to make larger programs than with the Arduino Uno (it has 1MB of program memory, 32 times bigger), and with a lot more variables (the RAM is 128 times bigger). The main processor includes other amazing features like Bluetooth pairing via NFC and ultra low power consumption modes. Embedded Artificial Intelligence The main feature of this board, besides the impressive selection of sensors, is the possibility of running Edge Computing applications (AI) on it using TinyML. You can create your machine learning models using TensorFlow Lite and upload them to your board using the Arduino IDE.

eem011 There are a few libraries already available to you for CRC. https://github.com/vinmenn/Crc16 https://github.com/FrankBoesing/FastCRC
If you're going to send the same data and you just want to verify that it hasn't been corripted... https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LibraryExamples/EEPROMCrc
I think one of the Simon Monk books also details how to do this, but I'm not sure which one (or where my copy is).

I would like build a health monitoring system for elderly people . This would a small air around the waist which would inflate only if a fall is detected. As there are million of cases of old people getting injured due to falling on the floor. All this could be done using accelerometer on arduino ble sense board . The microphone on the board could be used to detect specifc danger sound such or breaking or window or banging of door to detect intruder when they are home alone using machine learning packages such as tensorflow lite or arm-cmiss nn.
All this along with monitoring vital health signs such temperature and the gesture control could be integrated with the home appliance to make it convient for the old age people.

Thank you Tariq for all the extra efforts to keep the E14 community active and vital during all the disruptions.
You are going way beyond expectations and I think I can speak for the community to say your efforts are appreciated.

Arduino projects are fun to work on and an excuse to procrastinate on my hunney-do projects.
