Give your micro:bit project AI superpowers! This site will allow
your micro:bit to use your computer's webcam to recognize images.
You can recognize facial expressions, poses, and any object you can
think of to put in front of your webcam! What will your micro:bit do
when it can tell if you're smiling, or if you've deposited the right
amount of coins?
Use the links below to get your Teachable Machine image
recognition model and your micro:bit starter code. Then click on the
third button to connect everything together!!
Select the Microbit in the popup screen. Psst, it might be called mbed Serial Port.
Google Teachable Machine AI Model website
No experience required! This free website will let you use your
webcam to teach an AI to recognize images, or poses. You choose a
name for each "Class" of images you want it to recognize and pass
along to your micro:bit. Export your model when you're done, and
copy the link it gives you.
You can also train the AI to use your microphone to recognize
sounds.

Starter micro:bit code
This simple program for your micro:bit will let it receive
information from the AI on what it sees or hears
You decide what the micro:bit does when it recognizes each "Class".
Play a tune, make a happy face, move a motor. It's up to you!

Nothing is happening to my micro:bit!
If you haven’t coded anything onto your micro:bit yet, well...nothing will happen. Visit the makecode website to make your own projects, or follow some tutorials, and then use this project to have the website talk to your micro:bit. Insert your code into the marked areas and download your code. Your micro:bit should now be springing to life with whatever fantastic projects you’ve made.
3. Here is a record of all the actions your AI has done. You can use this Log to troubleshot and explore!
Interact and your logs will show up here!
