Quick Start

  1. 1. Charge the tag
    Plug a USB-C cable into the tag (none included).
  2. 2. Get the app
    Install BrainChip Connect from Google Play, open for pre-registration (requires Android 13 or later; coming soon to the iOS App Store).
  3. 3. Power on
    Turn the tag on with the power switch — the green LED blinks slowly when the tag is ready.
  4. 4. Connect
    Open the app, allow Bluetooth, tap AkidaTag in the device list, then Connect to Device. The green LED stays on while the app is connected.
  5. 5. Run the demo
    On the Select the Application screen, tap Run Application on the Keyword Spotting card and wait for the badge to say Active.
  6. 6. Say a word
    Speak clearly and close to the tag — down, go, left, no, off, on, right, stop, up or yes. The red LED flashes and the word appears on the card with its confidence.
