Multi-Sensor Expansion Development Kit for NE301

Multi-Sensor Expansion for NeoEyes NE301

The NE301 Multi-Sensor Expansion Development Kit is a ready-to-evaluate hardware kit for IoT developers, makers, and system integrators building sensor-rich edge applications.

It integrates a dedicated sensor expansion board with a wide range of sensing modules, including environmental sensing, motion detection, distance measurement, infrared thermal imaging, human presence detection, and audio input/output. Instead of sourcing individual modules and wiring them one by one, developers can start prototyping directly with a structured hardware platform designed around NE301.

With standard I2C, UART, SPI display, digital I/O, and audio interfaces, the kit helps developers quickly evaluate multi-sensor data acquisition, real-time visualization, and sensor-triggered edge AI workflows. The Sensor Expansion Board guide covers supported interfaces, sensor options, and integration details.

What You Can Build

Use the kit to prototype and evaluate applications such as:

• Smart building sensing
  Combine PIR and 24GHz radar for motion and presence detection in lighting, HVAC, occupancy, or security scenarios.
• Thermal monitoring and predictive maintenance
  Use the MLX90642 infrared thermal array to monitor temperature distribution on electrical cabinets, motors, circuit boards, or equipment surfaces.
• Robotics and distance sensing
  Combine short-range ToF and 20m d-ToF sensors for obstacle detection, boundary sensing, passage counting, or compact robotics evaluation.
• Environmental monitoring
  Use temperature, humidity, and ambient light sensing to prototype greenhouse, outdoor monitoring, or solar-powered sensing systems.
• Sensor fusion and edge AI evaluation
  Connect sensor data with NE301 vision AI workflows for smarter local decision-making.

Open Drivers and Simple CLI Testing

The kit includes pre-integrated C driver examples for supported sensors, available in the project structure:

Custom/Hal/SensorExt/

Developers can start automatic sensor acquisition and display rendering with simple CLI commands:

sexp start
Start periodic multi-sensor acquisition.

sexp start ir
Start infrared thermal imaging measurement and pseudo-color display rendering.

The default acquisition cycle is designed for fast evaluation, with sensor readings and display updates available for demo and debugging workflows.
