Aliensense's NXS Board Turns mikroBUS Clicks and Cameras Into Long-Distance Robot Sensor Nodes
Aliensense is promising to make robotic sensor setup easier, with its new NXS — a central hub that can connect multiple MIKROE mikroBUS Click sensor boards and a MIPI Camera Serial Interface 2 (CSI-2) image sensor to a host over a single cable.
"NXS [is] a compact node that connects any MikroElektronika [MIKROE] Click sensor (mikroBUS) or a MIPI camera to your robot or autonomous system over a single long-distance cable," the Abu Dhabi-based company explains of its creation "It handles the hardware interface, the driver layer and the data transport, so your team works with sensor data instead of firmware."

Exactly how "long-distance" that cable can be depends on which mode the STMicroelectronics STM32G491-powered board is set to use. If you're after a video feed from the...
