How to Build Your Own Reggaeton Be Gone Device

Sep 5, 2023 | Data Science

Have you ever found yourself at a gathering, only to cringe as reggaeton music blares through the speakers? Fear no more! With a sprinkle of machine learning and a touch of Raspberry Pi magic, we can create a device that detects the reggaeton genre and disables Bluetooth speakers. Let’s dive into creating this innovative solution!

Parts You’ll Need

Machine Learning Model

We will utilize the Edge Impulse platform to train a machine learning model that can distinctly identify the reggaeton genre. While I plan to share the `.eim` file soon, you can create an account and start developing right away!

Connections

Make sure to connect the hardware components properly:

  • Oled SDA – Rpi GPIO 2
  • Oled SCL – Rpi GPIO 3
  • Oled VCC – Rpi VCC
  • Oled GND – Rpi GND
  • Button pin 1 – GPIO26
  • Button pin 2 – GND
  • Power supply: 5V 3A

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Building your reggaeton-detecting device is akin to training a dog to perform a specific trick – in this case, the trick is identifying reggaeton music. Just as you would give your dog a treat when it successfully performs the trick, the model you train also requires data (audio samples) to learn from. Essentially, you expose the model to numerous music samples, both reggaeton and other genres. The more you train it (like practicing with the dog), the better it becomes at recognizing reggaeton. Eventually, when it ‘hears’ reggaeton, it acts by sending signals to disable the connected Bluetooth speakers, just like the dog performing the trick when instructed.

Troubleshooting Ideas

If you encounter any issues, try the following:

  • Ensure all connections are secure; loose wires can lead to connectivity problems.
  • Recheck the GPIO pin assignments if the screen or button isn’t functioning.
  • If the ML model is not detecting the music genre accurately, consider retraining the model with additional data.
  • Refer to the Edge Impulse platform for community support and resources.
