Rutronik RAB7: AI-Powered Sensor Fusion Arduino Shield with Bosch, Infineon, and Sensirion Sensors

With a total of seven environmental and inertial sensors facilitated by Bosch, Infineon, and Sensirion, the fully open-source hardware Arduino shield known as the Rutronik Adapter Board RAB7 is intended for AI-powered Sensor Fusion application. The RAB7 Adapter Board can be readily integrated with other Rutronik System Solutions base boards and adapter boards thanks to its Arduino-compatible interface. Technically complex projects can be rapidly developed and prototyped more easily and affordably thanks to this modular concept. It is powered by a single 3.3V supply by means of Arduino headers. All of the sensors are set up to use the I2C and SPI interface via ADAM-TECH connectors that are compatible with Arduino. Smart agriculture, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), professional kitchens, and building automation can all benefit from the RAB7 Arduino shield adapter.

The RAB7 Arduino Shield Adapter Board is an open-source hardware with all relevant files shared in a hardware repository with Altium schematics and PCB layout, mechanical drawings, Bill of Materials, assembly drawings, and Gerber files.

Coming to the software section, users need to install Infineon ModbusToolbox software and select the “RAB7-SENSORFUSION Demonstration” code in Project Creator. Alternatively, the code can be found on GitHub in the repository for the selected development board. The documentation is provided in a PDF file hosted on GitHub.

Rutronik sells the Adapter Board RAB7-SENSORFUSION Arduino shield for a price of $ 111.22. For more information, it is highly recommended to go through the product page.
