  • Predicting soccer games with ML on the UNO R4 Minima

    Predicting soccer games with ML on the UNO R4 Minima

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Based on the Renesas RA4M1 microcontroller, the new Arduino UNO R4 boasts 16x the RAM, 8x the flash, and a much faster CPU compared to the previous UNO R3. This means that unlike its predecessor, the R4 is capable of running machine learning at the edge to perform inferencing of incoming data. With this fact in mind, Roni Bandini wanted to leverage his UNO R4 Minima by training a model to predict the likelihood of a FIFA team winning their match.

    Bandini began his project by first downloading a dataset containing historical FIFA matches, including the country, team, opposing team, ranking, and neutral location. Next, the data was added to Edge impulse as a time-series dataset which feeds into a Keras classifier ML block and produces “win” and “lose/draw” values. Once trained, the model achieved an accuracy of 69% with a loss value of 0.58.

    Inputting the desired country and rank to make a prediction is done by making selections on a DFRobot LCD shield, and these values are then used to populate the input tensor for the model before it gets invoked and returns its classification results. Bandini’s device demonstrates how much more powerful the Arduino UNO R4 is over the R3, and additional information on the project can be found here in his post.

  • Vote for the winner of the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge on Twitch

    Vote for the winner of the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge on Twitch

    Calling all soccer fans. And futbal fans too. The MLS needs your help to determine who’s got the best skills in the league and if there’s one thing we know it’s that Twitch Chat has OPINIONS.

    On July 30, the MLS is broadcasting some of their best All-Star festivities on Twitch, including the Shooting, Touch and Volley, and Passing competitions. In addition to seeing the best soccer players in the country show off their skills, Twitch Chat will be represented by a celebrity judge at the judges table to weigh in on who should win the Touch and Volley segment. Here’s how the challenge is going to work. You can vote using an extension that will be available on the official /MLS stream and any co-streams, putting you in control of who comes out on top.

    The challenge works like this: A ball is served to a player who will attempt to score past a goalkeeper. These teams will have six shots to score as many points as they can. Points will be tallied based on how the shot is scored (e.g., bicycle kick, full volley, half volley), and the judges will award one team an extra 20-point bonus for style.

    After all three teams have completed the challenge, judges will hold up cards to indicate who they think demonstrated the most style and are most deserving of extra points.

    Here’s a full schedule of what you can watch on Twitch:

    July 30

    – 5:00pm PT: MLS All-Star Challenges begins

    – 5:10pm PT: Shooting Challenge

    – 5:30pm PT: Touch and Volley Challenge

    – 6:00pm PT: Passing Challenge

    It all goes down on /MLS, so make sure to follow and set a reminder when they go live.

  • The world’s best youth soccer players are coming to Twitch

    The world’s best youth soccer players are coming to Twitch

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

     

    The 2019 Generation adidas Cup is the premier youth soccer tournament in North America, and it’s coming to Twitch from April 13–20.

    The world’s future soccer stars from 14 countries are meeting in Dallas, Texas for two U-17 division championships (Premier and Champions) and a U-15 showdown featuring teams from MLS and Liga MX. While there will be tons of talent on display all week, here are 10 players you should keep an eye on.

    Are you a streamer interested in co-streaming the tournament?

    Co-streaming is enabled for the entire tournament, and everyone is invited to give it a spin. For those who haven’t tried it yet, co-streaming is a great way to mix up your usual content and connect with your community in a new way. Co-streaming can also help you grow your audience and attract new viewers who enjoy soccer.

    Sign up to co-stream and you’ll be featured in the MLS co-streaming extension on the official MLS channel. Be sure to tag your stream with ‘Co-Stream’ and ‘GACup’ so you show up in the extension.

    Just want to watch the games?

    Great! You can tune in to the MLS broadcast at /mls and /mls2, or you can choose to watch the Twitch Partners and Affiliates who are co-streaming the tournament.

    A list of participating clubs and full schedule for all three divisions can be found here. If you’re new to the game, here’s a list of key matchups to check out:

    Saturday, April 13

    1:30 PM ET — LA Galaxy vs. Peñarol

    Peñarol, one of the most storied clubs in South America that produced current LAFC striker Diego Rossi, makes their GA Cup debut against MLS powerhouse LA Galaxy.

    3:15 PM ET — FC Dallas vs. West Ham United

    FC Dallas always does a great job at attracting a crowd for any match they have at GA Cup, and this should be no exception.

    Sunday, April 14

    11:45 AM ET — Seattle Sounders vs. Valencia

    Seattle Sounders won the Premier Division championship last year after missing out on the Champions division by a point. They are the clear-cut favorite to compete for the Champions crown this year, but with Flamengo in their group, this is a must-win for Seattle.

    6:45 PM ET — NYCFC vs. River Plate

    NYCFC has been one of the most entertaining teams to watch at GA Cup in the last few years, and have a high potential to feature a select number of MLS signed players including Joe Scally.

    Wednesday, April 17

    10:00 AM ET — LAFC vs. Cruz Azul

    Although LAFC only has their academy built out up to the U-15 age range, they have quickly risen to the top of that age group. It will be fun seeing how LAFC stack up against ‘La Maquina’ in the first match of our unique Liga MX vs. MLS head-to-head competition.

    1:30 PM ET — Vancouver Whitecaps vs. Deportivo Toluca

    The Whitecaps academy has gotten a ton of praise in the last few years for their development of Alphonso Davies. As they have not participated in GA Cup in the past, the ‘Caps are a great showcase for how Canada is producing great talent for their country.

    World Cup fever: Raspberry Pi football projects to try

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Rumour has it that there’s a worldwide football tournament on, and that England, surprisingly, are doing quite well. In celebration, here are some soccer-themed Raspberry Pi projects for you to try out at home between (or during) matches.

    FutureLearn Football

    Beat the goalie

    Score as many goals as you can in 30 seconds with our code-it-yourself Beat the Goalie game for Scratch. You can access Scratch in any web browser, or offline with your Raspberry Pi.

    Beat the goalie scratch raspberry pi

    Start by coding a moving football in Scratch, and work through the project to build a game that tallies your successful attempts on goal within a time limit that you choose. Up the stakes by upgrading your game to include second-player control of the penguin goalie.

    Table football

    Once you’ve moved on from penalty practice, it’s time to recruit the whole team!

    Table football Scratch

    Our Table Football project – free, like all of our learning projects – comes with all the ingredients you need to recreate the classic game, including player sprites, graphics, and sounds.

    Instant replay!

    Scratch is all well and good, but it’s time we had some real-life table football, with all the snazzy upgrades you can add using a Raspberry Pi.

    Foosball Instant Replay

    Demo of Foosball Instant Replay system More info here: * https://github.com/swehner/foos * https://github.com/netsuso/foos-tournament Music: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jahzzar/Blinded_by_dust/Magic_Mountain_1877

    Stefan Wehner’s build is fully documented, so you can learn how to add automatic goal detection, slow-motion instant replay, scorekeeping, tallying, and more.

    Ball tracking with Marty

    Marty is a 3D-printable educational robot powered by a Raspberry Pi. With the capacity to add the Raspberry Pi camera module, Marty is a great tool for practising object tracking – in this case, ball tracking – for some football fun with robots!

    Teaching Marty the Robot to Play Football

    In this video we start to program Marty The Robot to play football, using a camera and Raspberry Pi on board to detect the ball and the goal. With the camera, Marty can spot a ball, and detect a pattern next to the goal.

    You can also check out Circuit Digest’s ball-tracking robot using a Raspberry Pi, and this ball tracking tutorial by amey_s on Instructables.
