Arduino VENTUNO Q - ABX00181

Three MIPI CSI connectors enable simultaneous connection of three cameras in the standard board configuration. Each connector uses a 22-pin FPC interface and supports MIPI CSI-2 cameras with up to four data lanes. USB cameras can also be connected through USB Type-A or USB Type-C ports.

Video output is provided through HDMI and DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB Type-C. MIPI DSI lines are also available on the JMEDIA connector, while HDMI and MIPI DSI operation share the corresponding lines. The configuration supports standalone vision systems with a local monitor, unattended network-connected applications and devices using multiple cameras to observe the surrounding environment.

WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and 2.5 Gb/s Ethernet -  Wireless connectivity includes tri-band WiFi 6 operating in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands, together with Bluetooth 5.3. The WiFi module uses two built-in antennas, while Bluetooth has a dedicated onboard antenna. Wired communication is provided by an RJ45 Ethernet port with a throughput of 2.5 Gb/s.

High-speed network connections support transmission of camera data, communication with services running on the local network, headless operation and integration of VENTUNO Q with robotic and industrial infrastructure. The platform can operate locally without cloud access, which is useful in applications requiring low latency or data processing directly at the source.

USB 3.0, HDMI, M.2 NVMe and audio interfaces - The USB Type-C port supports host/device roles, USB Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode video output. The board also includes two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, while two additional USB 3.0 interfaces are available through the JOMEGA connector. When DisplayPort Alt Mode is active, the high-speed USB-C lanes are switched to video output and USB data transmission through the USB-C port is reduced to USB 2.0 speed.

Built-in MAX98091 audio codec - The codec provides microphone input as well as line, headphone and speaker outputs through expansion connectors. VENTUNO Q can therefore handle local speech recognition, audio synthesis, voice assistant and audio interface applications without requiring a separate computer.

Arduino UNO Shield, Raspberry Pi HAT and Qwiic - The connectors retain the mechanical Arduino UNO Shield layout, allowing the use of many expansions designed for the UNO form factor. The logic level of the standard MCU connectors is 3.3 V, while most digital inputs tolerate 5 V. Analog inputs A0 and A1 are not 5 V tolerant and require signals within the 3.3 V input range.

The additional 40-pin JHAT connector maintains compatibility with Raspberry Pi HAT mechanics and logic levels, while level translators convert Qualcomm processor signals from the 1.8 V domain to 3.3 V. The Qwiic connector provides a 3.3 V I2C bus for connecting Arduino Modulino modules and compatible sensors. The design also includes extended JOMEGA, JMEDIA, JMISC and JCTL connectors for additional interfaces, multimedia and debugging.

CAN-FD for robotics and automation - The board includes one CAN-FD interface with a physical transceiver routed to a screw terminal. CAN-H and CAN-L lines include TVS protection, while the bus uses built-in split termination. Three additional CAN-FD interfaces without a physical layer are available on JOMEGA, and another interface without a transceiver is routed to the UNO Shield connectors.

CAN-FD support through STM32H5F5 allows integration with drives, controllers, industrial equipment and robotic systems requiring deterministic data exchange. The integrated transceiver on the main CAN port reduces the number of additional components required during prototyping.

Arduino App Lab and Linux environment - Arduino App Lab combines Arduino programming, Python, Linux and Edge AI within a single environment. A project can contain a Python script running on the Qualcomm processor, a classic Arduino Sketch executed by STM32H5F5 and additional Bricks running on the Linux side. Bricks include prepared services, AI models, user interfaces, databases and network integrations.

VENTUNO Q can operate in several configurations - Arduino App Lab can run directly on the board after connecting a monitor, keyboard and mouse, can be accessed from a computer through USB or a network connection, or can be used in headless mode over WiFi or Ethernet. Standard Linux tools also remain available, including VS Code, custom IDEs, Docker and the apt package manager.

LED matrix and user interface elements - The built-in blue 8 x 13 LED matrix consists of 104 points and is controlled directly by STM32H5F5. During Linux startup it can display a boot animation, and after the application starts it remains available as a programmable interface element. Four independent RGB LEDs can indicate application status, communication activity or events.

Flexible USB-C PD and 7-24 V DC power supply - Power can be supplied through USB Type-C with Power Delivery in the 9-20 V range, through a 5.5 x 2.1 mm DC connector in the 7-24 V range, or through a 7-24 V screw terminal. USB-C supports up to 3 A, the DC connector up to 5 A, and the screw terminal input up to 10 A. The power system uses TVS protection as well as reverse-polarity and reverse-current protection.

For applications involving intensive AI workloads, USB devices and Arduino or Raspberry Pi expansions, the manufacturer recommends providing sufficient power headroom. The documentation indicates a power supply rated at least 60 W for demanding configurations and gives 12 V / 5 A or 24 V / 3 A as examples when powering through the DC connector.

The board measures 160 x 100 x 25.8 mm without including the SoM heatsink and fan. Mounting holes support installation on standoffs and integration with enclosures and mechanical structures. The UNO connector format and 40-pin JHAT simplify the use of ready-made expansion boards.
