The Hello World application

Creating the model and training it

When working with Machine Learning, data play a primordal role because data are used to train the model and therefore influence the opaque algorithm within the model.

The model for the hello world example is created with the Python script train.py.

The TinyML examples written in C++

The TinyML examples in C++, ported to the ESP32 can be found at https://github.com/espressif/tflite-micro-esp-examples/tree/master/examples

Hello World

There you can also find procedure to get the examples compiled. Let's start with the hello_world example.

We must first tell the idf.py that we are using an ESP32S3 chip:

idf.py set-target esp32s3

After that we may have to clean previous builds:

idf.py fullclean

and finally we can build the hello_world program:

idf.py build

Once the program is built we can flash it and connect the serial monitor to see the results:

idf.py flash monitor

The program repeatedly runs the induction for 20 angle values between 0 and 2Π. These values can easily be captured by redirecting the output to a file. I then used an editor to prepare the data to be plotted with gnuplot.

idf.py flash monitor | tee results.txt

Finally I wrote a simple Python program calculating the correct 20 sine values, which allows to compare them to the results from TinyML.
