Running TensorFlow models on Arduino microcontrollers #Arduino #TensorFlow
MicroFlow allows one to export and run TensorFlow models on Arduino microcontrollers.
Currently, tflite-micro can only run on high memory boards like the Nano 33 BLE. I wanted to make it possible to run TensorFlow models on boards even with low amounts of memory and make the process as simple as possible while still making it useful and efficient.
If eventually they do manage to make it possible to run tflite on low memory boards like the Uno then this library will become obsolete. Also, I wanted to brush up on linear algebra.
Train the model using TensorFlow on whatever system you like. You can refer to the training examples for sin and XOR here I will be using the XOR model for demonstration purposes. Currently only Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) are supported (Dense layers in keras).
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.

Wow it’s my library! For those wondering, MicroFlow is officially on the Arduino Library Manager now!
