Cricket Shot Recognition using Arduino UNO R4 WiFi + ADXL345 + Edge
Impuls
This document provides a complete workflow for building a cricket shot recognition system using Arduino UNO R4 WiFi with an ADXL345 accelerometer and Edge Impulse Studio. The project involves collecting accelerometer data, training a machine learning model, and deploying the trained model back to the Arduino for real-time shot classification.
Cricket shots considered in this project:
– Cover Drive
– Straight Drive
– Pull Shot
Pass 1: Rekwiżiti tal-Hardware
– Arduino UNO R4 WiFi
– ADXL345 Accelerometer (I2C)
– Jumper wires
– Breadboard (optional)
– Kejbil USB Type-C
Pass 2: Rekwiżiti tas-Software
– Arduino IDE (latest)
– Edge Impulse Studio account (free)
– Edge Impulse CLI tools (Node.js required)
– Adafruit ADXL345 library
Step 3: Wiring the ADXL345
Connect the ADXL345 sensor to the Arduino UNO R4 WiFi as follows:
VCC → 3.3V
GND → GND
SDA → SDA (A4)
SCL → SCL (A5)
CS → 3.3V (optional, for I2C mode)
SDO → floating or GND
Step 4: Make IDE Sensor Ready
Kif Tinstalla Libreriji tas-Sensuri fl-Arduino IDE?
Iftaħ l-IDE tal-Arduino
Open Tools → Manage Libraries… and install: Adafruit ADXL345 Unified Adafruit Unified Sensor
(If you have LSM6DSO or MPU6050 instead: install SparkFun LSM6DSO , Adafruit LSM6DS or MPU6050 accordingly.)
Step 5: Arduino Sketch for Data Collection
Upload this sketch to your Arduino UNO R4 WiFi. It streams accelerometer data in CSV format (x,y,z) at ~18 Hz for Edge Impulse.
#inkludi
#include <Adafruit_ADXL345_U.h>
Adafruit_ADXL345_Unified accel =
Adafruit_ADXL345_Unified(12345);
setup null () {
Serial.begin(115200);
if (!accel.begin()) {
Serial.println(“No ADXL345 detected”);
filwaqt li (1);
}
accel.setRange(ADXL345_RANGE_4_G);
}
loop null () {
sensors_event_t e;
accel.getEvent(&e);
Serial.print (e.acceleration.x);
Serial.print(“,”);
Serial.print(e.acceleration.y);
Serial.print(“,”);
Serial.println(e.acceleration.z);delay(55); // ~18 Hz
}
Set Up Edge Impulse

Step 6: Connecting to Edge Impulse
- Close Arduino Serial Monitor.
- Run the command: edge-impulse-data-forwarder –frequency 18
- Enter axis names: accX, accY, accZ
- Name your device: Arduino-Cricket-Board
- Confirm connection in Edge Impulse Studio under ‘Devices’.

Train a small model
Go to Classifier (Keras) and use a compact config like:
Neural network: 1–2 dense layers (e.g., 60 → 30), ReLU
Epochs: 40–60
Learning rate: 0.001–0.005
Batch size: 32
Data split: 80/20 (train/test)
Save and train the data
Evaluate and Check Model testing with the holdout set.
Inspect the confusion matrix; if circle and up overlap, collect more diverse data or tweak
Spectral parameters (window size / noise floor).
Step 9: Deployment to Arduino
Go to Deployment:
Choose Arduino library (C++ library also works).

Download the .zip, then in Arduino IDE: Sketch → Include Library → Add .ZIP Library… This adds exampfajls bħal Static buffer u Continuous taħt File → Eżamples →
Your Project Name – Edge Impulse. Inference sketch for Arduino UNO EK R4 WiFi + ADXL345.
Step 10: Arduino Inference Sketch
#inkludi
#include <Adafruit_ADXL345_Unified.h>
#include <your_project_inference.h> // Replace with Edge Impulse header
Adafruit_ADXL345_Unified accel =
Adafruit_ADXL345_Unified(12345);
static bool debug_nn = false;
setup null () {
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial) {}
if (!accel.begin()) {
Serial.println(“ERROR: ADXL345 not detected”);
filwaqt li (1);
}
accel.setRange(ADXL345_RANGE_4_G);
}
loop null () {
float buffer[EI_CLASSIFIER_DSP_INPUT_FRAME_SIZE] = {0};
for (size_t ix = 0; ix < EI_CLASSIFIER_DSP_INPUT_FRAME_SIZE; ix +=
3) {
uint64_t next_tick = micros() + (EI_CLASSIFIER_INTERVAL_MS *
1000);
sensors_event_t e;
accel.getEvent(&e);
buffer[ix + 0] = e.acceleration.x;
buffer[ix + 1] = e.acceleration.y;
buffer[ix + 2] = e.acceleration.z;
int32_t wait = (int32_t)(next_tick – micros());
if (wait > 0) delayMicroseconds(wait);
}
signal_t signal;
int err = numpy::signal_from_buffer(buffer,
EI_CLASSIFIER_DSP_INPUT_FRAME_SIZE, &signal);
if (err != 0) return;
ei_impulse_result_t result = {0};
EI_IMPULSE_ERROR res = run_classifier(&signal, &result,
debug_nn);
if (res != EI_IMPULSE_OK) return;
for (size_t ix = 0; ix < EI_CLASSIFIER_LABEL_COUNT; ix++) {
ei_printf(“%s: %.3f “, result.classification[ix].label,
result.classification[ix].value);
}
#if EI_CLASSIFIER_HAS_ANOMALY == 1
ei_printf(“anomaly: %.3f”, result.anomaly);
#endif
ei_printf(“\n”);
}
Output example:
Tips:
Żomm EI_CLASSIFIER_INTERVAL_MS sinkronizzat mal-frekwenza tad-data forwarder tiegħek (eż., 100 Hz → 10 ms). Il-librerija Edge Impulse tissettja din il-kostanti awtomatikament mill-impuls tiegħek.
Jekk trid skoperta kontinwa (tieqa li tiżżerżaq), ibda mill-issettjar Kontinwu.ample inkluż mal-librerija EI u skambju fil-qari tal-ADXL345.
