Arduino makes the Portenta Vision Shield LoRa available Detect gestures, identify objects, generally see things – that’s the goal. We’re talking the Portenta Vision Shield LoRa is now available on the Arduino online store, having been first announced at the end of last year. It’s an add-on Shield to expand the functionality of the Arduino Portenta H7. It’s aimed at edge ML (machine learning) applications. In terms of supporting machine vision, the Portenta Vision Shield comes with an ultra-low-power Himax camera (for QVGA – a 324×324 pixel camera sensor). The module autonomously detects motion while the H7 is in stand-by mode, which means only waking up the microcontroller when needed.
