Classifier Model Training
Machine Learning may seem like a farfetched concept. AI Camera is already capable of Machine Learning features in the form of object classification. KOI can be trained to recognize objects.
In this section, we will learn how to use the Machine Learning feature to easily train a object classification model.
Install an SD Card
The trained model will be stored on an SD card, without an SD card we won’t be able to save this model.
Training a Model
Load KOI extension: https://github.com/KittenBot/pxt-koi
Loading Extensions
Blocks for machine learning:
Sample Program
The model can be saved in a .bin or .json file.
e.g. aaa.json or aaa.bin
Program Flow
1: Download the program to the Micro:bit.
2: Put the first object in front of the camera and press B, slightly change angle and repeat about 3 times.
3: Press A to start training the next object.
4: Repeat the process until all objects have been analyzed.
The sample program has set the maximum number of object to 4, this can be changed to your liking.
A maximum of 40 images and 40 objects is supported by KOI.
5: Press A and B simultaneously to save the model.
The file name cannot include spaces, and it must be a bin or json file.

FAQ
2: Does KOI work with 3V input?
· A: No, KOI only works with 5V.
3: KOI gives a warning message when I try to train a classifier.
· A: The classifier hasn’t been reset.
· Solution: Run the block for classifier reset, KOI will display a success message.
