Powered by the STM32N6.

One of the most advanced microcontrollers ever brought to an Arduino-compatible platform. An Arm Cortex-M55 CPU paired with ST's Neural-ART NPU at 1 GHz delivers exceptional real-time ML on embedded hardware, with a built-in ISP, H.264 encoding, and a NeoChrom GPU. A complete vision pipeline on a single board.

  • Arm Cortex-M55 + Neural-ART NPU at 1 GHz
  • ISP supporting cameras up to 5MP
  • Hardware MJPEG and H.264 encoding
  • NeoChrom GPU for image manipulation
  • 64MB OSPI RAM + 32MB flash

One of the first Arduino boards with a dedicated NPU.

The entire AI inference pipeline, from camera capture and pre-processing to NPU inference and result handling, lives inside a single Arduino sketch. If you can blink an LED, you can run a neural network.

Ohm Lab's high-level libraries abstract away the complex STM32N6 peripheral configuration. No manual DMA setup, no register fiddling, no custom linker scripts. Install the library and start building.

What will you build?

600 GOPS in a Feather form factor, drawing milliwatts. The bottleneck is your imagination.

Wildlife and trail cameras

Species detection at the edge. Classify animals without uploading thousands of frames to the cloud, and run for weeks on a battery pack.

Autonomous robots

Obstacle avoidance, object tracking, and gesture control, all on-board. No tether to a laptop, no Wi-Fi dependency.

Wearable devices

Gesture recognition, fall detection, and activity classification in a board small enough to wear. USB-C charging built in.

Smart cameras and security

Person detection that genuinely runs 24/7 on a battery. Trigger alerts locally, with no subscription and no cloud footage.

Sound and keyword detection

Classify sounds, detect keywords, or spot anomalies in machinery noise. Inference runs in milliseconds, always listening.

Custom defect detection

Train and deploy your own inspection models with a validated workflow for custom model quantisation and deployment.

Pick your sensor.
