Project Description:
*****
This video shows what the RDK S100 Edge AI board is really capable of when you use it in real projects.

The RDK S100 comes with a powerful BPU (Brain Processing Unit) that delivers up to 80 TOPS of AI performance, making it perfect for real-time computer vision, YOLO object detection, pose estimation, and edge AI applications. Everything you see in this video is running live on the board, not on a PC.

In this project, I start with the basics and show how to control GPIO pins on the RDK S100, not just using a terminal, but through a graphical user interface (GUI) built with PyQt5 and Qt Designer. We control a real LED connected to the board and display its status in real time inside the GUI.

You will learn:

How GPIO works on the RDK S100
How to control hardware using Python
How to design a GUI using Qt Designer
How to connect PyQt5 with real GPIO pins
How software and hardware work together in an edge AI system

Before this, I worked on advanced projects like a squat counter using pose estimation, a virtual laser security system using YOLOv5, and a radar-style object tracking system. These projects show how powerful the RDK S100 is for AI security systems, smart surveillance, and robotics.

I also explain why this time I used a USB camera instead of a stereo camera, and why I switched from Ethernet to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 using the Realtek RTL8852BE expansion board. This setup gives faster speed, lower latency, and a clean wireless workflow—perfect for future AI and IoT projects.

If you are interested in edge AI, computer vision, YOLO with RDK S100, AI robotics, or Python hardware control, this video is a great starting point.
