Usage

Display the camera image on the screen.

from maix import display, camera
display.show(camera.capture())

After inputting the image to the model, the result of the forward algorithm is returned.

from PIL import Image
from maix import nn

m = nn.load({
    "param": "/root/models/resnet_awnn.param",
    "bin": "/root/models/resnet_awnn.bin"
  }, opt={
    "model_type":  "awnn",
    "inputs": {
        "input0": (224, 224, 3)
    },
    "outputs": {
        "output0": (1, 1, 1000)
    },
    "first_layer_conv_no_pad": False,
    "mean": [127.5, 127.5, 127.5],
    "norm": [0.00784313725490196, 0.00784313725490196, 0.00784313725490196],
})

img = Image.open("input.jpg")
out = m.forward(img, quantize=True)
print(out.shape)
out = nn.F.softmax(out)
print(out.max(), out.argmax())

Some examples of accessing hardware peripherals.

• GPIO

import time
from maix import gpio
PH_BASE = 224 # "PH"
gpiochip1 = gpio.chip("gpiochip1")
led = gpiochip1.get_line((PH_BASE + 14)) # "PH14"
config = gpio.line_request()
config.request_type = gpio.line_request.DIRECTION_OUTPUT
led.request(config)

while led:
    led.set_value(0)
    time.sleep(0.1)
    led.set_value(1)
    time.sleep(0.1)

• PWM

import time
from maix import pwm

with pwm.PWM(6) as pwm6:
  pwm6.period = 1000000
  pwm6.duty_cycle = 10000
  pwm6.enable = True
  while True:
    for i in range(50, 1, -10):
      pwm6.duty_cycle = i * 10000
      time.sleep(0.1)
    for i in range(1, 50, +10):
      pwm6.duty_cycle = i * 10000
      time.sleep(0.1)

• I2C

from maix import i2c
i2c = i2c.I2CDevice('/dev/i2c-2', 0x26)
i2c.write(0x1, b'\xAA')
print(i2c.read(0x1, 1))

• SPI

from maix import spi
spi = spi.SpiDev()
spi.open(1, 0) # '/dev/spidev1.0'

spi.bits_per_word = 8
spi.max_speed_hz = 1
spi.mode = 0b11

import time

while True:
  time.sleep(0.1)
  to_send = [0x01, 0x02, 0x01]
  print(spi.xfer2(to_send, 800000)) # 800Khz

• UART

from maix import serial

with serial.Serial("/dev/ttyS1",115200) as ser:
  ser.write(b"Hello Wrold !!!\n")
  ser.setDTR(True)
  ser.setRTS(True)
  tmp = ser.readline()
  print(tmp)
  ser.write(tmp)
  ser.setDTR(False)
  ser.setRTS(False)

• EVENT

from maix import evdev
from select import select
dev = evdev.InputDevice('/dev/input/event9')

while True:
  select([dev], [], [])
  for event in dev.read():
    print(event.code, event.value)

Jupyter

Install rpyc_ikernel kernel in jupyter notebook & lab to get an IDE editor that can remotely call Python code, videos, and image streaming.

Click here to view the effect usage_display_hook.ipynb. Note that jupyter runs on your computer.

Progress

Platform	Status	Example	config	Memory usage
linux x86_64	working	general	general	unlimited
maix_v831	working	maix_v831	maix_v831	11M+
maix_rv1126	prepare		NULL
RPi_XXXX	maybe		NULL
Windows	build fail

The development progress is in no particular order.

Build

Under linux x86_64, use python3 setup.py build to complete the general package construction.

For other platforms, take the version of maix_v831 as an example, match the Python3 + cross-compilation chain of the corresponding platform, and run python3.8 setup.py build maix_v831 to complete the construction of the target platform package.

Welcome to provide configurations of different platforms to MaixPy3/envs/ to adapt to the MaixPy3 environment.

If you need .whl pre-compiled package, please change build to bdist_wheel.

Develop

Tested glibc >= 27 on Ubuntu20.04 & manjaro20.03.

Each catalog function of the project.
