I am trying to connect my Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense to Edge Impulse for my machine learning project but I am having problems and was hoping you can help.
Here’s what I did:
-
I clicked on “Devices” and selected the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense.
-
I viewed the Installation Docs but I have a few questions. I saw this “The Edge Impulse firmware for this development board is open source and hosted on GitHub: edgeimpulse/firmware-arduino-nano-33-ble-sense.” Do I need this? If so, how do I incorporate/use it (when I press on the link, it’s just a bunch of code)?
-
Installing Edge Impulse CLI
-
I already created an Edge Impulse account
-
I installed the latest version of Python (V3.14 - 64 bit)
-
I installed Node.js version 22.22.0 (LTS) and checked the box for the additional tools (doing so also downloaded PowerShell and other programs)
-
I also downloaded Visual Studios Community 2022 and checked the box for Development of C++
-
I went to CMD administrator and typed “npm install -g edge-impulse-cli --force” and I didn’t get any errors which was good.
-
Problem 1: But when I typed “edge-impulse-data-forwarder” I got the message:
Error: Cannot find module ‘C:\Users\raadn\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\edge-impulse-cli\build\cli\data-forwarder.js’ I attached an image for your review.
- Problem 2: I downloaded the Arduino CLI to flash the device. I downloaded the correct version (Windows exe 64-bit) and extracted the file to the folder “arduino-cli” that I created. I also went to System Environmental Variables and then PATH and added this file to the same “arduino-cli” folder that I made. But when I run “flash_windows” (under download the latest Edge Impulse firmware) in CMD, it shows the message: Error finding build artifacts: looking for build artifacts: could not find a valid build artifact. I also attached an image for your review.
I checked past Edge Impulse forums and one recommendation was to uninstall “edge-impulse-cli” and reinstall, but that didn’t work either. I don’t really know why it’s not working. I also attached an image of what it should look like.
Can you please help me with this? I’m happy to answer any questions.
Thank you so much for your help.
