🐝 Bees, 🔩 screws and #ai

On today’s show, Jim is joined by @ShawnHymel a developer relations engineer from @EdgeImpulse. Shawn has been playing with FOMO, an object detection AI model that runs on microcontrollers using #tinyml, and has built a bolt and screw counter that not only runs on a low-powered device, but sends the data up to the cloud to monitor via Azure IoT.
