Now that we have a good understanding of how to build a machine learning model with TensorFlow, it’s time to put our knowledge into practice and train a model that can recognize the presence of people in a room and can run on a Raspberry Pi with some cheap hardware.

The Raspberry Pi is arguably the most successful credit card–sized system-on-chip (SoC) developed in the past decade. Its compact form factor, flexibility, and affordable price (the price goes from about $10 for the tiny single-core Raspberry Pi Zero up to about $80 for a quad-core Raspberry ...
