[sdetweil]

@sdetweil also, in the node_modules/pocketsphinx_continuous/index.js

show me this

 var pc = spawn('pocketsphinx_continuous', [
    '-adcdev',
    'plughw:' + this.microphone,
    '-inmic',
    'yes',
    '-lm',
    'modules/MMM-voice/' + this.setId + '.lm',
    '-dict',
    'modules/MMM-voice/' + this.setId + '.dic'

also check for the two files in the mmm-voice folder MMM-voice.lm and MMM-voice.dic

@sdetweil this is the entire index file, didn’t see that anywhere

  if (!config.hasOwnProperty('autostart') || config.autostart === true) {
    this.start();
  }

  EventEmitter.call(this);
}

PocketSphinxContinuous.prototype.start = function() {
  if (!this.isListening()) {
    let mic = this.microphone;
    // if name starts with number
    if (typeof this.microphone === 'number' || this.microphone.match(/^\d/)) {
      mic = `plughw:${this.microphone}`;
    }

    this._psc.stdout.on('data', data => {

      const eventName = output.toLowerCase();
      if (!reservedEvents[eventName]) {
        this.emit(eventName, output);
      }
    });

    this._psc.stderr.on('data', data => {

    this._psc.kill();
  }
};

PocketSphinxContinuous.prototype.isListening = function() {
  return this._psc && !this._psc.killed;

util.inherits(PocketSphinxContinuous, EventEmitter);

module.exports = PocketSphinxContinuous;

also, both of those files are there.

@jmartin1009 said in MM won't run, blank screen with cursor showing after updating:
from your response

> this._psc = spawn('pocketsphinx_continuous', [
>       '-adcdev',
>       mic,
>       '-inmic',
>       'yes',
>       '-lm',
>       `modules/${this.setId}/${this.setId}.lm`,
>       '-dict',
>       `modules/${this.setId}/${this.setId}.dic`
>     ]);
> 

so, only the path to the files can be wrong…

so, change them to (assume u are running as user pi)

 this._psc = spawn('pocketsphinx_continuous', [
       '-adcdev',
       mic,
       '-inmic',
       'yes',
       '-lm',
       `/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/${this.setId}/${this.setId}.lm`,
       '-dict',
       `/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/${this.setId}/${this.setId}.dic`
     ]); 

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009 you have the file with my fixes in it… btw

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil which file? and i’ll go change those right now

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009

~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-voice/node_modules/pocketsphinx_continuous/index.js

same file u just showed me

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil oh yeah, im going to change the file paths in it right now in the one you sent last.

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil just changed those file paths, tried running MM, still getting “ERROR undefined” next to the little microphone

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009 yeh, only care about the debug log

I don’t know…

i would open an issue on the MMM-voice github repo, with the log file and ask for help .

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil done, thank you for all of your help, I appreciate you taking time out of your day to troubleshoot this with me, you’ve helped me with a ton of stuff and i really appreciate it.

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009 glad I could help… sorry we couldn’t push it over the line

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil no worries! i wish i just could have found a voice control program that didn’t cause me to rip my hair out and give up and try another one by now haha i’ve tried a bunch and they always seem to fail for me.

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009 just one more thing… after u installed MMM-voice, did u run the module/installers/dependencies.sh?

Installation
Clone this repo into ~/MagicMirror/modules directory.

Run command bash dependencies.sh in ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-voice/installers directory, to install all dependencies. This will need a couple of minutes.

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil i thought i did, but i’ll do it again just to be safe, if that won’t mess up anything

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009 shouldnt

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil its installing pocketsphinx again so i wonder if it will change the file we changed with the paths and the plughw and stuff

[jmartin1009]

@sdetweil same thing in the debug log, so hopefully i’ll get an answer on github, thanks for the help! If you discover anything else or have any other ideas i’ll give them a shot tomorrow, otherwise don’t sweat it. Thanks!

[sdetweil]

@jmartin1009 run this to see if all required libs loaded

ldd /usr/local/bin/pocketsphinx_continuous
