Meet Arduino Nesso N1: the future of IoT in the palm of your hand

Get ready to build the future, faster – thanks to the new Arduino Nesso N1, a powerful, compact, and ready-to-go development kit that brings the full flexibility of the Arduino ecosystem into the world of connected devices and remote monitoring.

Designed in collaboration with M5Stack – a leading provider of stackable IoT modules and developer-friendly tools – Nesso N1 is your ideal companion for building scalable prototypes or full-fledged connected solutions. Whether you’re creating smart home hubs, edge computing nodes, wearable sensors, or industrial automation systems, it’s designed to help you bring ideas to life quickly, easily, and reliably.

Compact design, big capabilities

Don’t let its small size fool you. Nesso N1 is packed with everything you need to develop smart, connected solutions:

• Powered by the ESP32-C6, featuring an integrated low-power RISC-V single-core (up to 20 MHz) for efficient, reliable performance
• Equipped with 16 MB Nor Flash and 512 kB SRAM, providing ample memory for IoT applications
• A 1.14″ touchscreen and programmable buttons for easy interaction
• Built-in IMU, IR transmitter, RGB LED, and buzzer
• Powered via rechargeable battery
• Multiple connectivity options, including Bluetooth^® 5.3, Thread 1.4, Zigbee 3.0, Matter, LoRa^® (850-960MHz)
• Support for Arduino Cloud for remote control and data visualization
• USB-C, Grove, and Qwiic connectors for easy expansion with Arduino Modulino nodes or third-party modules

With pre-assembled hardware and a robust enclosure, you can skip mechanical design headaches and focus on building your solution right away.

Ready for your next project

Nesso N1 is perfect if you want to make your home smarter, because it makes it easy to create a central hub or transform IR-controlled devices into connected appliances. But it can just as quickly help if you work in industrial automation: use it to monitor and control equipment, collect sensor data, or build predictive maintenance systems swiftly. Similarly, it can unlock precision farming or environmental monitoring for you by connecting soil, weather, and irrigation sensors. Last but not least, it can take scientific research and STEM education to the next level by enabling you to collect real-time data for analysis or even build a multi-protocol IoT prototype!

What’s more, you can start coding for Nesso N1 in your environment of choice – using Arduino IDE, MicroPython or UIFlow – making it a seamless fit for any workflow, from hobbyist to professional user.

Made with you in mind

This new product launch reaffirms once again our mission to bring open, accessible tools to anyone looking to innovate in the connected world. Thanks to M5Stack’s thoughtful hardware design and Arduino’s open ecosystem, Nesso N1 lowers the barrier to advanced IoT prototyping – for learners, engineers, and industry teams alike.

From plug-and-play compatibility to seamless connectivity and powerful programmability, it’s everything you need in a pocket-sized powerhouse. Check out Nesso N1 on the Arduino Store or explore Arduino Docs for documentation, examples, and specs.
