Alvik includes a set of different sensors listed below, all connected to the STM32 and accessible through the [APIs](https://docs.arduino.cc/tutorials/alvik/api-overview). For each sensor there is test example program that you can find in the _examples_ folder in [this repository](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-alvik-mpy/tree/main/examples) for micropython and in [this repository](https://github.com/arduino-libraries/Arduino_AlvikCarrier/tree/main/examples) for C++.
