Good video, I recently got a rasperry pi zero for pihole, but in a time of my life where I'm reevaluating what I want to do career wise, so I've been looking into electrical engineering and this project came up. Watched it from start to finish, good tutorial bro.

How about a video about deploying custom classification models on raspberry pi for classification?

[ROOO]

are all the gpis pins same? can I use gpis pin 3 for example?

[mariamkhird]

Can you show how to do this method on gpio extension board ?
