NEW GUIDE: Build a Machine Learning package detector with Lobe #AdafruitLearningSystem @lobe_ai
In this guide we’ll build a machine learning (ML) package detector that sends you a notification when a package is left at your door!
You can also use this tutorial to train a model to notify you for any kind of event. For example, lets you know when your dog is at the door, your favorite parking spot is open, or if there are birds at your bird feeder.
We’ll use Lobe to train our model and then deploy it to a Raspberry Pi 4. We’ll use the BrainCraft Hat to interface with the Pi to collect images and preview what the camera is seeing.
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.
