Upload AI Model to Grove Vision AI V2
Now we will quickly get started the modules with SenseCraft AI, and this will only require the module only.
Step 1. Connect the Grove Vision AI V2 to the SenseCraft AI Model Assistant
First, we need to open the main SenseCraft AI Model Assistant page.
Please use a Type-C type cable to connect Grove Vision AI V2 to your computer.

Then, just select a model you want to use and click the Send button below. Here is an example of Face Detection.
Please remain on this page for 1-2 minutes until the model is successfully uploaded. Kindly note that switching to another page tab during this process may result in an unsuccessful upload (our team is actively working on resolving this issue, and it will be fixed soon).
Step 3. Observations
Once the model is uploaded successfully, you will be able to see the live feed from the Grove Vision AI V2 camera in the Preview on the right.
Deploy a Http Server With XIAO ESP32S3 Sense
Step 4. Download the SSCMA package and upload to Arduino IDE
Download the zip package from here.
Upload this package to Arduino IDE
Step 5. Set your 2.4G wifi and upload the program to ESP32S3 sense
Open camera web server demo
Set your 2.4G wifi ssid and password.(Please pay attention to 2.4G wifi, not 5G)
My esp32 borad package version is 2.0.14. If you found your program have some strange error, you can change your version to 2.0.14. It's because version compatibility issues.
Open XIAO ESP32S3 sense PSRAM function and upload. When you use audio or video function of S3 you need to turn this on. Other types of XIAO don't need to do that.
When it work successfully, you will see the result like this. If you meet some error, please check FAQ at the bottom of this article.
Access Intelligent IP Camera
Step 6. See the result in browser
First, you need to make sure your computer at the same LAN with Grove Vision AI V2. Open your browser and input the ip address you got from previous step and click Start Stream button. You will see AI model run successfully in your browser.
FAQ
1. Uart buffer length error
If you meet the error like this.
First, you need to go to esp32 cores directory, find esp32-hal-uart.c and esp32-hal-uart.h and open them.
And then, you need to change the buffer size of uartBegin function from uint16_t to uint32_t. Save them and upload the program again.
2. Upload program failed
Press and hold the Boot button and press the Reset Button, and then let go. That will reboot XIAO and will resolve this problem.
3. Keeps coming up with dots.
That's because network connection. Check your network if it's available? Is it 2.4G? Change another network or another antenna.
