Abstract
Sound Classification On Raspberry Pi With Tensorflow is an open-source Internet of Things (IoT) project. In this project is presented a simple method to train an MLP neural network for audio signals. The trained model can be exported on a Raspberry Pi (2 or superior suggested) to classify audio signal registered with USB microphone. The project is developed and tested with Python 2.7. It is built using Python, Machine Learning, TensorFlow, Raspberry Pi. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building an Internet of Things (IoT) mini project or final-year project.
1. Introduction
The project is developed and tested with Python 2.7.
Set the right path where you downloaded the dataset in your code.
Set the right path where you want to save the trained model.
2. Objective
In this project is presented a simple method to train an MLP neural network for audio signals. The trained model can be exported on a Raspberry Pi (2 or superior suggested) to classify audio signal registered with USB microphone
This project demonstrates how Python, Machine Learning, TensorFlow can be applied to a real-world Internet of Things (IoT) problem.

8. Viva / Review Questions
Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.
- Which microcontroller / board and sensors are used and why?
- How does the device send data (Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTP, Bluetooth)?
- Where is the sensor data stored and visualised?
- How is power consumption managed?
- How would you secure the device and its communication?
