Microphone/MMM-voice Help

[tnp0327]

Hi everyone!

Absolute newbie with no real coding background here so thanks in advance for the patience and help!

So I’ve built a MM for my wife and I’ve also installed google AIY so that it functions as both a MM and google assistant. I would also like to be able to use the microphone for MMM-voice and everything appears to have installed properly, however, when I load MM it will not change from “Initializing”. I have a feeling that this is because the microphone is only “ON” when I am running one of the AIY demo.py’s AND giving the command “Hello, Google” or OK, Google but, again, I am a noob and could be completely wrong. Do you have any advice for getting the PI/MM/MMM-voice to initialize the microphone/voice-HAT?

Thanks in advance!

I could be wrong (I often am) but I don’t think the microphone can be shared. It’s one module or another.

Thanks for the response, @Mykle1 . @strawberry-3-141 asked me to debug and I added debug:true to the config file but am not sure where the debug log data is stored. Any help on finding the debug data?

It almost hurts to ask that question :(

Thanks!

@tnp0327 minimize the mirror window (alt-spacebar, n) and the terminal windows used to start the mirror will be shown… the debug is in that window…

least thats how I do it!..

this debugs the node_helper
ctrl-shift-i will open the mirror debug window (select console tab) this will show the module level debug

@tnp0327 the file that gets generated is located at modules/MMM-voice/debug.log

@strawberry-3-141 here is a snapshot of the directory. I do not see a debug.log file. Do you know why this could happen?

Thanks

@tnp0327 can you show me the mmm-voice part of your config js

[tnp0327]

@strawberry-3-141 I originally had it in the config section but moved it up below “position”. However, I am still not seeing a debug.log file. I rebooted and still nothing.

[strawberry 3.141]

@tnp0327 it needs to be in the config section

[tnp0327]

@strawberry-3-141 thanks! I moved it to the config section.

I still do not see a debug.log file.

When I run MM, the MMM-voice area (bottom left) says Initialising… and underneath that it says undefined.
