Hello-Lucy Not shown, NO ERROR

Nicodil

Hi,

I tried to get the Hello-Lucy Plugin to work.
My sound drivers are working and i can also record with aplay and arecord.

My Microphone is a MicrosoftLifecam and on card 2, device 0.
Speaker is on 1,0 (aux).

When i start magicMirrorm all modules are shown normal and i cannot see Lucy at all…

Any ideas what to do?

@nicodil what position is the lucy module configured for in config.js?

Nicodil

Hi @sdetweil ,

at the moment it is on the first position. But i also had it near the end when i started.

sdetweil

@nicodil no

{
   module: "MMM-Hello-Lucy",
  position: " ????????",
  config:{  
  .
  .
  }
}

if you don’t have position set, then MM will not put the module content on the screen

Nicodil

@sdetweil Oh, i see!
position: “top_center”, is already set…

{
disabled: false,
module: "Hello-Lucy",
position: "top_center",
config: {
    keyword: 'HELLO LUCY',              // keyword to activate listening for a command/sentence
    timeout: 15,                        // timeout listening for a command/sentence
    standByMethod: 'DPMS',              // 'DPMS' = anything else than RPi or 'PI'
    microphone: "2,0",                  // run "arecord -l" card # and device # mine is "0,0"
    sounds: ["1.mp3", "11.mp3"],        // welcome sound at startup. Add several for a random greetings
    confirmationSound: "ding.mp3",      // name and extension of sound file
    startHideAll: true,                 // All modules start as hidden EXCEPT PAGE ONE
    // *** Page One is your default startup page *** This overrides startHideAll: true,
    pageOneModules: ["Hello-Lucy"],                     // default modules to show on page one/startup
    pageTwoModules: ["Hello-Lucy"], // modules to show on page two
    pageThreeModules: ["Hello-Lucy"],                 // modules to show on page three
    pageFourModules: ["Hello-Lucy"],                  // modules to show on page four
    pageFiveModules: ["Hello-Lucy"],               // modules to show on page five
    pageSixModules: ["Hello-Lucy"],                      // modules to show on page six
    pageSevenModules: ["Hello-Lucy"],                   // modules to show on page seven
    pageEightModules: ["Hello-Lucy"],                   // modules to show on page eight
    pageNineModules: ["Hello-Lucy"],                   // modules to show on page nine
    pageTenModules: ["Hello-Lucy"]             // modules to show on page ten
   } },

Hi, i solved it.
Th variable on top of Hello-Lucy.js was not initialized.
var importedSentences=‘’; and it worked for me… strange…

BUT MAYBE this means this var is never filled with the imported Sentences…
This could explain why my Lucy nothing understands what im saying…

Should i also install MMM-voice??? Or is this one not necessary for MMM-Lucy?

sdetweil

@nicodil Lucy includes all the Voice functionthe sentences file name is exact case AND I have to debug it, but I think the sentences has to be in modules and NOT in the module folder…

edit:

bug, Mykle1 copied this code from me…

replace line 15 with this in Hello-Lucy.js

const sfn= document.currentScript.src.substring(7,document.currentScript.src.lastIndexOf(document.currentScript.src.slice(7).includes('//')?'//':'/'))

Sorry, this is a double post but it may be connected to the OP’s issues and this is the most recent Lucy topic.

Actually, there was a dependency issue. It took me some time to figure out how to correct the issue. I took the simplest route. The issue was with the dev dependencies which are not necessary for Lucy to run but caused the installation of necessary dependencies to fail.

I’ve removed the installation of the dev dependencies from the dependency installer. I trashed my installation of Lucy (and her dependencies) and did a fresh installation. Everything seems to be working correctly here now.

Sorry for the long delay in investigating the problem.
