Mark I - half white eye - button not working - random tick

Hi,

I am owner of a Mycroft Mark I.
I have last used it more than half a year ago due to being busy with study etc.
When I tried using it again these days it started up, but seemed not to start correctly (maybe doing updates etc.) - just the left eye half white, random tick sound equal to the one when changing the volume of Mark I & Button not working at all.

As an impatient person I decided to remove power supply and start over with a clean setup.
Due to this I opened the Mark I removed SD card and flushed it with latest Mark I image from: https://mycroft.ai/to/mark-1-image

After this I started up device - the half white eye did not change, but mycroft talked to me that it is connected to internet & can be registered via code XYZ. I successfully registered the Mark I and waited some time until ‘tail -f /var/log/mycroft-*’ did not output further messages for some minutes - then I restarted device via ‘sudo reboot’.
Unfortunately I still ended up with same half white eye & not working Button… :frowning:

Due to this I run apt-get upgrade and updated all packages (except one package which seems to be apt pinned - I think it was raspberry-kernel or something like raspberry-firmware…) then ‘sudo reboot’ again - but still facing the same ‘half white eye’, not working button and now additionally the random tick sound equal to the volume change sound again.

Using mycroft-cli-client mycroft ‘anwers’ correctly to my input but only via text - no spoken output.
During my search I have fount this topic ( Mark 1 - Enclosure eyes, screen, and button not working ) but did not uninstall/Install mycroft-core yet since I am using a newly flushed image.

Any recommendations what to do or why this happens?
Furthermore I have seen that latest mycroft mark I image is still based on raspbian jessie while picroft seems to be already on stretch. Is there some reason behind?

Thanks for help

I think you did a smart thing by flashig a fresh image. That should brung you up to date regarding to mycroft-core. Sadly that didnt help you out.

In the mycroft-cli-client what version is it writing in upper right corner ? Should be 18.8.9

I think that has to do with firmware for the Arduino faceplate where there is no firmware for strecth :frowning: but not sure about that. Anyway that hasnt to do with your problem as Mark 1 is running fine on Jessie.

Yes version 18.8.9 is displayed at the right upper corner

And I verified - the topic with ‘raspberrypi-kernel’ being pinned I remembered wrong.
When running apt-get upgrade I can see that the package was kept back - not pinned.
Should I run ‘apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel’ to “fix” this or is this a wanted state of the kernel package within the mark I image?

I dont think that has anything to do with the white eyes on the Mark_1 :frowning:

I out of ideas, but I am sure someone else has some ideas or experiances that could help.

Thanks for reporting this, and thanks for all the basic troubleshooting you’ve doing so far.

Half white eyes issue

There could be several reasons for this - the Neopixel components can degrade with age - I’ve got a couple of “dead pixels” on one of my Mark 1s. Another explanation here is that the Arduino which controls the Neopixel eyes can have corrupted ROM. By un-powering the device, leaving it at least 30 seconds, then restoring power, you get the Arduino to re-flash the ROM. This can get the Neopixel eyes working again. It’s worth trying 2-3 times if it doesn’t work the first time.

No spoken output

On a Mark 1 this is usually due to low volume. First, check your volume is high enough. Secondly, you can try sshing in to the device, and using the command alsamixer to select the speaker and ensure that its volume is high enough that way; this was a common issue some months back.

Raspbian Jessie

There are several reasons for this; there are multiple components in the Mark 1 - we’re not sure that all of them work on Raspbian Stretch. But by far the biggest reason that we haven’t moved to Raspbian Stretch for the Mark 1 is that the utility we use for connection to a wireless SSID is not available on Raspbian Jessie. We don’t want Mark 1 users having to manually configure WiFi in the same way Picroft users do.

Hi

thanks for your reply.

No spoken output

I could verify this - changing the volume by alsamixer fixed it :slight_smile:

Raspbian Jessie

I like that people from mycroft-ai are more focused on “keeping this working” than “having the latest and greatest as fast as possible” even you are working in such an innovative area like AI.

Half white eyes issue

Unfortunately still no success here - un-powered device multiple times - still same error.
From output of systemd unit “mycroft-enclosure-client” it additionally seems that Arduino code is ok - see below:

About the “dead pixels” I do not think so.
It is not only the LED eyes but the mycroft “mouth” does not give any output, too.
Furthermore if simply plug out the powersupply while the mark I is still running (usually not doing this but was some kind of dissapointed after multiple restart tries with the ROM :unamused:) the eyes flash up once very shortly in the currently defined eye color previous to power off…

Any further instructions appreciated

Here is a picture of the “half white eye”:
(Sometimes there are just 3 LEDs - sometimes 6 working )

Maybe interesting - some more output which shows that arduino code gets flushed correctly after the ‘hard power unplug’ I have mentioned earlier (I destroyed included links by removing the ‘h’ from ‘http’ because of link number limit in one post):

Don’t know if this is the same problem, but when my Mark-1 had issues with the LED display and pixel ring/eyes I could solve it by following steps:

  1. carefully open the Mark-1
  2. check all cables that run from the main PCB to the front plate (including the tiny sockets/plugs).
  3. When reassembling make sure that the cable from the PCB to the loudspeaker does not run over any ICs (especially Arduino) and as far as possible from the other cables.

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately still the same error… :frowning:
I think I will try creating an official ticket via “Contact - Mycroft”

BTW: Today is a 6 LED day …

Thanks for the photo @mk.maddin - the fact that you’re getting some pixels indicates one of a possible issues;

  • The Arduino running the Neopixels is still partially corrupt
  • As others have suggested, the connector may be unseated

Do log a ticket with us and we will see what we can do.
