Introducing the CanMV K230: 13.7× Faster AI Vision Board for Rapid Development
Before we dive into the power behind the CanMV K230, let’s take a quick 30-second intro to what CanMV is all about. Born from the deep integration of Canaan Technologies and the open-source machine vision project OpenMV, CanMV (Canaan Machine Vision) is an open source framework that combines easy-to-use MicroPython programming with powerful embedded AI capabilities. It simplifies AI and IoT development by providing a low-cost, scalable, and user-friendly platform, enabling developers to focus on functionality and innovation. The platform is designed for rapid deployment of machine vision, machine hearing, and lightweight deep learning applications, even in resource-constrained environments.
After the ESP32-S3, WonderCam, and WonderMv, Hiwonder has introduced the latest addition to its vision module family: Hiwonder CanMV K230 AI Development Board. Let’s dive into its key features and discover how it achieves a remarkable performance boost.
Breaking Limits: From Basic Performance to Unstoppable Power
If the previous-generation chip was limited to handling one task at a time, like recognizing a single image or detecting one object, the new CanMV K230 AI Development Board is built for multitasking at a whole new level. Powered by the K230 edge computing chip, its performance is 13.7 times faster than the K210.
Despite its compact size, the K230 AI development board delivers impressive perceptive capabilities. Its onboard 1080P/60FPS camera can process 3 MIPI cameras simultaneously, and its custom AI vision framework unleashes the full potential of its 6TOPS KPU. It’s like having 3 cameras running in parallel, seamlessly processing data without missing a beat.
Streamlining Development: From Low-Level Debugging to Full-Scale Implementation
The CanMV K230 AI Development Board is fully compatible with MicroPython and the OpenMV ecosystem, offering a self-developed AI framework that packages over 30 visual algorithms. These include advanced features like YOLOv8n detection, face recognition, and custom model deployment. With simple Python commands, advanced AI features can be quickly implemented without the need for extensive coding or complex algorithms, greatly reducing development time and lowering technical barriers. The K230 AI board transforms the development process with seamless solutions that simplify and speed up the entire workflow.
Good Helper for Robot Project
Hiwonder K230 AI board is the perfect partner for your robotics projects. With built-in Wi-Fi and versatile expansion options, it effortlessly integrates with popular controllers like STM32, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi, while also directly driving servos, sensors, and displays.
The K230 AI board is perfect for building a voice-enabled desktop robot assistant, an autonomous car that tracks lines and recognizes traffic signs, or a smart home system with gesture control and face recognition. With its powerful processing capabilities, it also supports local model training, such as identifying specific part defects, recognizing different flower species, or responding to custom hand gestures. Everything happens locally, ensuring faster response times and better privacy.
Technology shouldn't just be a stack of specs—it should be a tool that enables creation. In addition to the powerful hardware, the offering includes comprehensive tutorials, along with fully open-source code examples and design documentation, allowing for quick development and the realization of AI vision projects.
