Adafruit’s Limor Fried ported TensorFlow Light to the Arduino ecosystem so you can make your own AI-powered projects.
I want to find out what happens when we bring machine learning to cheap, robust devices that can have all kinds of sensors and work in all kinds of environments. And I want you to help. The kind of AI we can squeeze into a US $30 or $40 system won’t beat anyone at Go, but it opens the door to applications we might never even imagine otherwise.
Specifically, I want to bring machine learning to the Arduino ecosystem. This has become recently possible thanks to improvements in hardware and software.
On the hardware side, Moore’s Law may be running out of steam when it comes to cutting-edge processors, but the party’s not over when it comes to microcontrollers. Microcontrollers based on 8-bit AVR processors dominated the Arduino ecosystem’s early years, for example, but in more recent years, embedded-chip makers have moved toward more powerful ARM-based chips. We can now put enough processing power into these cheap, robust devices to rival desktop PCs of the mid 1990s.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
