K230 and microbit communication
1. Experimental Prerequisites
This tutorial uses microbit, and the corresponding routine path is [14.export\microbit-K230\7.Microbit_k230_eye_gaze].
K230 needs to run the [14.export\CanmvIDE-K230\07.eye_gaze.py] program to start the experiment. It is recommended to download it as an offline program.
Items needed:
Windows computer, microbit, USB to TTL module, K230 vision module (including TF card with image burned), type-C data cable, connecting cable (Dupont cable), alligator clip, import K230AI library: https://github.com/YahboomTechnology/K230-Module.git
2. Experimental wiring
| k230 vision module | Microbit |
|---|---|
| GND | GND |
| TXD(IO9) | P2 |
| USB to TTL module | Microbit |

| RXD | P1 |
| GND | GND |

3. Main code explanation

From the code, we can simply configure the serial port and call the relevant serial port and K230 building blocks to obtain data.
- x0: is the horizontal coordinate of the eye starting point
- y0: is the vertical coordinate of the eye starting point
- x1: is the horizontal coordinate of the gaze direction
- y1: is the vertical coordinate of the gaze direction
4.Experimental Phenomenon
- After connecting the cables, the k230 visual module runs offline After K230 is connected to Canmv IDE, open the corresponding program, click [Save open script to CanMV board (as main.py)] on the toolbar, and then restart K230.

- Find the hex program of this tutorial, right-click the hex program, and upload the hex program of this tutorial to the microbit
The serial port assistant is set to the interface shown in the figure

- When the K230 camera recognizes a face, the serial port assistant will print out the information transmitted from K230 to microbit.
- x0: is the horizontal coordinate of the eye starting point
- y0: is the vertical coordinate of the eye starting point
- x1: is the horizontal coordinate of the gaze direction
- y1: is the vertical coordinate of the gaze direction
As shown in the figure below
