Portenta Vision Shield LoRa®

The Arduino Portenta Vision Shield LoRa® consists of a 320x320 pixels camera sensor and two onboard microphones for directional sound detection. It allows you to run embedded computer vision applications. The Vision Shield LoRa® has been designed to work with the Arduino Portenta H7.

Features

  • Camera Sensor: 320x320 pixels with high sensitivity 3.6μ BrightSense™ pixel technology
  • Audio Capture: 2x MP34DT05 microphones for directional sound detection
  • LoRaWAN Connectivity: 868/915 MHz ABZ-093 LoRa module
  • Power Supply: 3.3V supplied by Portenta H7/C33
  • Embedded Computer Vision: Optimized for AI and machine learning applications at the edge

Use Cases

  • Visual inspection and quality control
  • Predictive maintenance with image and audio analysis
  • Security and surveillance applications
  • Industrial automation with computer vision
  • Environmental monitoring with image capture
  • Edge AI applications combining vision and sound

Thinger.io Integration

The Portenta Vision Shield LoRa® can be integrated with Thinger.io through LoRaWAN connectivity, enabling remote monitoring and control of computer vision applications with cloud-based data management.

Requirements

A LoRaWAN server is required to communicate the Arduino Portenta Vision Shield LoRa® into Thinger.io, some options are:

Alongside, the corresponding plugin for the selected LoRaWAN server needs to be installed in your Thinger.io instance.

Get Started

Installation

Look for the plugin in the Thinger.io Plugin Store and install it in your Thinger.io instance. Once the plugin is installed a new Product will be created for this device.

Configuration

The Product is already preconfigured, check that the auto provision prefix matches the one selected in your LoRaWAN server plugin in Thinger.io, or change it to your desire.

Usage

Start sending uplinks for autoprovisioning devices and buckets. This product also provides a predefined dashboard and downlinks.
