Instruction Manual
Introduction
Arducam Pico4ML-BLE increases the BLE module based on Pico4ML, which has been integrated with the RP2040 microcontroller, IMU, and display. This upgrade makes it to be a machine learning kit with the function of Bluetooth communication. We’ve included 3 pre-trained TensorFlow Lite Micro examples, including Person Detection, Magic Wand, and Wake-Word Detection. You can also build, train and deploy your models on it.

Quick Start
We’ve provided some pre-built binaries that you can just drag and drop onto your Pico4ML-BLE to make sure everything is working even before you start writing your code.
Pre-trained Models
Wake-word detection A demo where Pico4ML-BLE provides always-on wake-word
detection on whether someone is saying yes or no, using its onboard microphone
and pre-trained speech detection model.
Magic Wand (Gesture Detection)
A demo where Pico4ML-BLE casts several types of spells in one of the following
three gestures: “Wing”, “Ring” and “Slope”, using its IMU and pre-trained
gesture detection model.
Person Detection
A demo where Pico4ML-BLE predicts the probabilities of the presence of a
person with a Himax HM01B0 camera module.
First Use
Go to the https://github.com/ArduCAM/pico-tflmicro/tree/main/bin page, then you will find the .uf2 files for the 3 pre-trained models.
Wake-word Detection
- Click on the corresponding uf2. file “micro_speech.uf2”
- Click on the “Download” button. This file will be downloaded to your computer.
- Go grab your Raspberry Pi or laptop, then press and hold the BOOTSEL button on your Pico4ML-BLE while you plug the other end of the micro USB cable into the board.
- Release the button after the board is plugged in. A disk volume called RPI-RP2 should pop up on your desktop.
- Double-click to open it, and then drag and drop the UF2 file into it. The volume will automatically unmount and the screen should light up.
- Hold your Pico4ML-BLE closer and say “yes” or “no”. The screen will display the corresponding word.
Magic Wand (Gesture Detection)
- Click on the corresponding uf2. file “pico4ml_ble_magic_wand.uf2”
- Repeat the second to fifth steps mentioned in “Wake-word Detection Using” to light up the screen with the .uf2 file for magic wand.
- Wave your Pico4ML-BLE quickly in a W (wing), O (ring), or L (slope) shape. The screen will display the corresponding mark.
Person Detection
- Click on the corresponding uf2. file “person_detection_int8.uf2”
- Repeat the second to fifth steps mentioned in “Wake-word Detection Using” to light up the screen with the .uf2 file for person detection.
- Hold your Pico4ML-BLE to capture images. The screen will display the image and the probabilities of the presence of a person.
What’s Next
Build a Magic Wand with Edge Impulse
The increased Bluetooth help to implement wireless data collection, training,
and model update by designing a web client based on WebBLE. The collected data
is converted to a format that can be read by Edge Impulse through our
conversion script, and then the transfer learning of the model is carried out.
