Project Showcase: Machine Learning with RP2040

SparkFun Pro Micro - RP2040: www.sparkfun.com/products/17717
SparkFun Thing Plus - RP2040: www.sparkfun.com/products/17745
The RP2040 is supported with both C/C++ and MicroPython cross-platform development environments, including easy access to runtime debugging. It has UF2 boot and floating-point routines baked into the chip. The built-in USB can act as both device and host. It has two symmetric cores and high internal bandwidth, making it useful for signal processing and video. While the chip has a large amount of internal RAM, the board includes an additional 16MB external QSPI flash chip to store program code.

Great video! It’s good to see a high-level introduction to a use case. I really like when the videos are more than specs, extending into sample ideas.

This looks incredible. The TensorFlow micro lite library seems amazing, and the potential applications are...well, unlimited.

I love how both Sparkfun and Adafruit use the best of both world approach with Adafruit adapting the Qwiic connector and Sparkfun the feather standard. I think this will benefit us and both companies in the long run.

Cool!

[@darkphotons101]

Doesn’t RTC stand for ‘Real Time Clock’ not ‘Real Time Counter’ ?

[@matth3wc]

Yeah, you're correct. I noticed that too. I double check the datasheet just to make sure.

Now PI is selling the chips to board makers anyone know what they are selling just the chips for?
Nice to know for when they start selling the chips to everyone.

[@anneallison6402]

But it doesnt have any ML hardware accelerators, does it?

[@transferr33]

Good question ???

[@curtisnewton895]

are these implanted hands ?

[@SUPERMAR10312]

Lmao what are you on?

[@marekkollarik9163]

[@I-_-I_SB]

[@mesapysch]

I like the products, hate the company.

[@anneallison6402]

Why?

[@mesapysch]

@@anneallison6402 They have the worst customer service of any company I dealt with in the past year. I will not buy from them. There are more customer friendly companies out there selling similar products.
