Learn how to get started with the Arduino Science Journal. In this article:
Get the app
You can download the Arduino Science Journal app from the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).
Read Setting up Experiments for instructions on how to setup the app on an Android or iOS device.
Compatible boards
The Science Journal can be used with the following boards:
- Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 (with the Science Carrier, or Science Carrier Rev2)
- Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense
- Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense Rev2
- Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect (by itself, or with the Science Carrier R3)
Note
The MKR WiFi 1010 needs to be connected using the Science Carrier, which is only available in the Arduino Science Kit Physics Lab.
Note
If your board came with a Science Kit, it will have the the required firmware out-of-the-box. If you’re using a board not included in a Science Kit, an individually bought board replacement, or have flashed the board with different firmware, see Upload the Science Journal firmware.
