We have noticed an issue with the raspberry pi analog audio. Even using aplay repeatedly can cause a hang.
Yes I was using an analog audio speaker and it hangs ā¦ will try changing to hdmi with rasp-config
I got a PS3 eye camera for less than $6. Works almost too wellā¦ it catches speech from the TV across the room.

It is HIGHLY directional.
Hi Karl!
I have a question, does mycroft (the software) work together with https://creator.matrix.one/#!/index ?
Any place I found a similar question, as here above me or on the creator.matrix forums, the question stays unanswered. Is it in someway a āstupidā or āimmodestā question?

Hey!
As of now, Iām not sure. I donāt know of anyone having done so yet. I also donāt see any reason why it wouldnāt work. I think it has been done, but canāt find any info on it.
I do really like it. Iām also thinking about pre-ordering the Matrix-Voice as that would definitely put the hardware on-par with an Alexa or Google Home.
Update: I totally pre-ordered the Matrix Voice. Iāll probably post something cool whenever I get it. (May?)

Matrix Voice looks very interesting project ā¦ a cut down Matrix-Creator board losing temp pressure etc to lower the price.
This pimori speaker Hat board would be great a Mycroft speaker ā¦ and the led display could indicate Mycroft status. out of stock however.

I bought the SpeakerpHat and havenāt gotten it to work yet out-of-the-box. Granted, Iām not a schooled coder, but the āpicroftā doesnāt recognize it. Getting this error after running Pimoroniās install script:

Thoughts?
Hey did have you had any success with the Speaker pHat and picroft? Iām having the same issue and canāt seem to find any way to fix it.
Not yet. I figure I have to start over with Rasperian and install Mycroft on that. Picroft seems not to work with SpeakerpHat for reasons I am not nerdy enough to debug.
Anyone with info on Bluetooth setup it, pointers/external references would be appreciated! Weāre lacking it in the wiki.
People on slack have found that the matrix.one is currently INCOMPATIBLE with picroft.
Iām using a cheap Adafruit adaptor with a cheap electret microphone capsule.
Mycroft certainly responds to questions if I stand 3m away, although as my man-cave is quite small, this means Iām standing outside the room in the hallway. Not bad!
Iām not using the audio out from the Adafruit (I have a seperate amp/speaker on my rig) but Iām pretty sure this could also be made to work.
From where should I give audio input. Is it from my phone through which I connect to wifi MYCROFT.
Did anyone try this speakerphone/mic combo from Hamlet? Itās quite cheap (around 10 euro) and it should be supported under linux (from the windows drivers I see it uses a CMedia CM106/108 chip).
I use the Google AIY voicehat. It also includes a button.
I made a diskimage for it that works out of the box, and that updates with the regular picroft updates,
Just finished designing a custom enclosure that will be printed next week.

What 3D tool is your customer enclosure designed with. Where can I get the native CAD and STL files, if available?
This is for the v1 voice kit, as pictured in your post, right?
Actually, I was looking for tjoenās custom enclosure for the Google AIY kit. This was referenced in the post prior to mine. But thanks for the Mark I links, they will be a good starting point for other designs.
