Recognizing handwritten MNIST digits on an Arduino Uno using LogNNet
Reading Time: 2 minutesArduino Team — May 19th, 2021 The Arduino Uno is famous for its ease of use and compact size, yet its microcontroller, the ATmega328P, is quite small. The 328P contains a mere 32KB of flash storage for programs and 2KB of RAM, which has traditionally made it unsuitable for machine learning applications.…
