Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working
-
Did you get
arecord test.wavto record a sound file?I just noticed that my USB micro is now suddenly displayed as card 1.
I’m confused. Is it still reporting card 1?
Did you make the changes to your config microphone option?
How long are you waiting before quitting MM when you see thecrossed-out green flashing microphone?
-
I’am confused too. It’s still card 1, when I enter “arecord -l”. When the Magic Mirror runs in the background and I enter “arecord test.wav” the Error “arecord: main:828: audio open error: Device or resource busy” appears. But, when I stop the Magic Mirror with pm2, record works. After reboot the Magic Mirror is yet on the top a micro icon and "Ready, “Hello Lucy”. But when I try to ask she, nothing happens. To you have a answer for this?

and you say
‘Hello Lucy’right?

@sdetweil
Yes, of course. I tried it again. I shouted into the microphone, although “ERROR” was displayed and Lucy reacted. But when I tried to hide the news, it took a very long time. When I tried to continue, Lucy reacted once out of 10 and in between she always showed ERROR. Can I do something that she understand me better and that the delay is not so long. -
@Linas123 I don’t know. Was just trying to help.
Lots of times users didn’t know to say hello Lucy.
What language do you speak? Sometimes the language model cannot detect the intonation
-
@sdetweil
I speak with a german accent. -
Thank you for all your help and your fast replays. Now it finally works with long charging times, but it works. Whenever I stop the Magic Mirror with pm2, the card for the microphone changes, but I can live with that because soon it will hang on the wall and then I won’t stop pm2.

do you mean response times? (time from speak to action)
charging in english applies to batteries.
what pi device are you using?
-
Sorry, I’am only just 16 years old and not so good in english. I mean response time and use the RPI 3b+.

and not so good in english.
a LOT better than my german!!
wonder what else is running. 3b+ is usually pretty good
do you use SSH to connect to pi?if so, can you do top command to see what is running?
-
I use realVNC to see what is on my Mirror.
-
@Linas123 can u minimize mirror (alt-spacebar, n)
and then run top in a terminal window (ctrl-alt-t)
ctrl-c to exit top -
Maybe I just think that response time is slow, although it is fast for a cheap computer like the raspberry.

@Linas123 cool, thx… nothing running really…
i also didn’t like the realtime responsiveness of the pi (til pi4)
and bought odroid and jetson nano to get more speed. -
@sdetweil
That’s a cool idea, but I don’t like to change anything on the hardware. I keep that in mind for my next project. -
@Linas123 yep, i do support most of the time, maintain the installer/updater scripts…
have a pi0, 3, 4, odroid, jetson nano I use the odroid in a production photoframe/info kiosk on the wall in my hall (no mirror glass or enclosure)
-
I put a lot of effort into building the Magic Mirror (even a frameless Magic Mirror). Without self-praise I have seen many other Magic Mirrors but mine is by far the most beautiful one and finally a voice control is part of it. It is also completely designed for a Raspberry Pi, so I don’t want to change anything now.
-
@Linas123 cool… glad you are happy with your project… it takes a lot of energy!..
-
@sdetweil Yes, I’am a bit proud of me. It’s very cool that in this forum are so helpful and nice guys.
-
Guys can you please help me out! @Mykle1 @Linas123 @sdetweil @TheGeekfather
My rpi model 3b+
I have installed Hello lucy correctly, executed npm install.
My mic card and device number is 1,0
My mic and speaker both are working fine, tested: arecord test.wav
Whenever I start my MM and speak hello lucy , lucy don’t detect my voice he don’t respond.
So I tried:
In asoundrc file I changed “hw:1,0” to “plughw:1,0”
But the result is same lucy is not responding.
