New MaixPy (v4) and new hardware platform MaixCAM is coming now(2024.4)!
If you have any suggestions, tell us on MaixHub, or Telegram/MaixPy or QQ group: 862340358.Click the Star in the upper right corner to let us know you like it to encourage us to add more features.
With MaixPy you can easily create AI vision project within 10 lines of code:
from maix import camera, display, image, nn
classifier = nn.Classifier(model="/root/models/mobilenetv2.mud")
cam = camera.Camera(classifier.input_width(), classifier.input_height(), classifier.input_format())
dis = display.Display()
while 1:
img = cam.read()
res = classifier.classify(img)
max_idx, max_prob = res[0]
msg = f"{max_prob:5.2f}: {classifier.labels[max_idx]}"
img.draw_string(10, 10, msg, image.COLOR_RED)
dis.show(img)
Result video:
Simply use peripheral like serial port:
from maix import uart
devices = uart.list_devices()
serial = uart.UART(devices[0], 115200)
serial.write_str("hello world")
print("received:", serial.read(timeout = 2000))
We also provide a handy MaixVision workstation software to make development easier and faster:
And online AI train platform MaixHub, one click to train AI model and deploy to MaixCAM even you have no AI knowledge and expensive training equipment.
Python programing, MaixVision Workstation, AI vision, video streaming, voice recognize, peripheral usage etc.

Chip register level open, more detalils: MaixCAM
- Big core can choose one of RISC-V and ARM A53.
- Maix-I K210 series is outdated, MaixPy v4 not support it, use it please visit MaixPy-v1
MaixPy provide easy-to-use API to access NPU, and docs to help you develop your AI model.
MaixPy provide easy-to-use API, PC tools, online AI train service ... Let you focus on teaching AI, not the hardware and complicated software usage.
MaixPy provide Python API, so all you need is learn basic Python syntax, and MaixPy's API is so easy to use, you can make your project even in a few minutes.
MaixPy is easy to build projects, and provide corresponding C++ SDK, so you can directly use MaixPy to deploy or transfer Python code to C++ in a few minutes.
We provide many docs and tutorials, and lot of open source code, to help you find learning route, and grow up step by step. From simple Python programming to
Vision
,AI
,Audio
,Linux
,RTOS
etc.
Use MaixPy even graphic programming to develop your products with no more employees and time. For example, add a AI QA system to your production line, or add a AI security monitor to your office as your demand.
MaixPy integrate many functions and easy to use, fasten your work to win the competition in limited time. There are already many contestants win the competition with MaixPy.
K210 and v831 are outdated, they have many limitations in memory, performance, NPU operators missing etc.
No matter you are using them or new comer, it's recommended to upgrade to MaixCAM and MaixPy v4.
Here's the comparison between them:
