@sdetweil also weirdly enough

@snikolaidis before we get to MM with lucy, arecord must work
arecord: set_params:1339: Sample format non available Available formats: - S16_LEyes, it didn’t record cause it can’t do the default

@snikolaidis and aplay test.wav do you hear what you said?
-
@sdetweil >if i specify the USB camera it works,
ok, so, how do you update lucy to use the usb camera config ?
-
@sdetweil
yes on both i hear what i said and changing the microphone line in config is all i’ve ever done to get it working, flash raspbian -> install MM and modules -> run arecord -l and change the mic config line to what my pi reflectsPi4b

@sdetweil i specified the mic in ~.asoundrc so now arecord goes directly to the usb mic but still throws the format code, lucy still wont pick it up tho
pcm.!default { type asym playback.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "output" } capture.pcm "hw:2,0" } pcm.output { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 } -
mine is
pcm.!default { type hw card 0 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 }so I would guess yours would be
pcm.!default { type hw card 2 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 } -
@sdetweil yeah still not working with lucy even though arecord works, would it have anything to do with that i went beta with the pi4?
-
-
@sdetweil the beta firmware & bootloader that lets you boot from usb
sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade Sudo nano /etc/default/rpi-eeprom-update sudo rpi-eeprom-update -d -f /lib/firmware/raspberrypi/bootloader/beta/pieeprom-2020-05-27.bin -
@snikolaidis oh… that won’t affect sound
-
@sdetweil Sorry trying to think of anything possible
-
@snikolaidis said in Hello-Lucy:
on another note, i guess i said too many unkown commands or somethings and a list of all the commands possible popped up and wont go away, any thoughts other than rebooting
Oh, did you mean commands to Lucy? The Command List appeared? You can say “Hide Help” or “Close Help”.
-
Thank you @sdetweil for doing the troubleshooting on this one. :thumbsup:
-
@snikolaidis Did you ever figure this out? I have a pi4 and have a logitech webcam c920 … it shows as card 2 and should be 2,0 … I can record and play back in arecord Everything from what I can see works fine except when in MM Lucy talks and then when waiting for command her icon goes to ERROR.
I have gotten this to work with a sunfounder usb mic (just a crappy mic) and I was hoping the lag would be better using the webcam mic. (waiting for my new 3.5 jack microphone which should help the lag).
In any case I just do not know why Lucy doesn’t pick up the webcam mic??
@Mykle1 does it make sense it doesn’t work? -

@Mykle1 does it make sense it doesn’t work?Well I THOUGHT I had the crappy usb microphone working on my RPI 4 but I am wrong …Same issue as with webcam.
I do know I had this working on my RPI3 last night with crappy usb microphone… The only difference I can see is on the RPI3 it put the usb mic on CARD 1 . on the rpi4 no matter what I put in as a usb mic…it puts it as CARD 2 device 0. On the RPI4 I have “headphones” as card1 and HDMI as 0. I get sound out of both hdmi and 3.5 jack (headphones)…Arecord does record using either usb mic I use. For whatever reason Lucy just keeps throwing ERROR when trying to initialize the mic -
@majik655 @Mykle1 @snikolaidis
Well I am unsure exactly why everything all of a sudden works now but I did the following and it seemed to work.sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo rebootBefore I was always doing apt-get and never did FULL-upgrade always did apt-get upgrade
When I did the apt full-upgrade it then told me at the end that I had 200 or so items that were not being used and could remove them using autoremove…
I then rebooted and did not change a thing in my .asoundrc or anything and it all started working.Again I am unsure what exactly fixed it… oh I also removed the usb mouse and usb keyboard (again not sure if any of this matters) but if anyone wants to see my .asoundrc config I will post it.
Currently working with Logitech c920 webcam for mic and 3.5 jack for sound out (I want to change this to HDMI but I am afraid something will break.)
-
Well, perhaps something was corrected in the update. Hard to tell, really. Glad you got it working.
. (waiting for my new 3.5 jack microphone which should help the lag).
Am I missing something here? 3.5 jack mic on a Pi?
-
@Mykle1
I was speaking about getting in the mail soon my new microphone that is 3.5mm connector so I can plug it into the raspberry pi’s “headphone” jack (am I wrong it being a 3.5?)
I ordered it because as I have read through all 29 pages of this forum thread it was mentioned (so I understood) that the lag I had when the command would be recognized is due to me using a usb microphone.
At least that is what I understood … I could totally be wrong as this thread goes a long way back in time lolThen I thought I would just move my mirror and Lucy over to my raspberry 4. And of course nothing worked over there and was probably because I used the sd card on a PI3 previously.
Anyway it is working beautifully and there is no lag (but I am using a logitech webcam now and could be the reason why there is no lag?? or maybe just the “upgrade” from a 3 to a 4 has helped)The only thing I have issues with now is, my mirror uses a motion PIR sensor to “blank” out the screen when no motion. When you step in front of it, it shows the modules and times out back to blank in 2 minutes of no motion. I have the no signal type of monitor and just need the blanking not turning off power or anything.
So when I start the mirror all modules are shown. I believe this is because of MMM-NEW-PIR forcing the show of all modules when motion.
Even without that for some reason Lucy would ALWAYS show currentweather and weatherforecast… no matter what I did. I could just not get her to not show those on page 1.
So now I have installed NOAA3 and hope maybe I can turn off the PIR module and see if Lucy will only show herself on page one .
Otherwise it is what it is and I can work with it … thank you for everything!
