Hello-Lucy Module Microphone not working

[Linas123]

@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?

@sdetweil

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?

@sdetweil

I use realVNC to see what is on my Mirror.

[sdetweil]

@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.
