The centerpiece of any project with the senseBox is an Arduino-compatible microcontroller to which various sensors and data transmission modules can be connected. Depending on the needs and application, there are different versions with special features: the senseBox MCU, the senseBox MCU mini, and the senseBox MCU-S2. The following introduces these three boards.
The senseBox MCU (MicroControllerUnit) is the heart of every senseBox. It is a single-board computer based on the ARM Cortex-M0 processor from the SAMD21 family. This processor makes the senseBox MCU fully compatible with Arduino.
It has the following built-in ports and components.
Connectors:
Onboard components:

The powerful senseBox MCU Eye is the latest development in the senseBox microcontroller series. With its powerful processor and increased memory, it enables the execution of small AI models directly on the device. For example, image recognition with the integrated camera or gesture recognition with the integrated accelerometer. Captured data can be transmitted directly via Wifi, BLE, or LoRa, or stored on an SD card. The senseBox MCU Eye has the following built-in connectors and components:
