Microphone/MMM-voice Help

[tnp0327]

Hi everyone!

Absolute newbie with no real coding background here so thanks in advance for the patience and help!

So I’ve built a MM for my wife and I’ve also installed google AIY so that it functions as both a MM and google assistant. I would also like to be able to use the microphone for MMM-voice and everything appears to have installed properly, however, when I load MM it will not change from “Initializing”. I have a feeling that this is because the microphone is only “ON” when I am running one of the AIY demo.py’s AND giving the command “Hello, Google” or OK, Google but, again, I am a noob and could be completely wrong. Do you have any advice for getting the PI/MM/MMM-voice to initialize the microphone/voice-HAT?

Thanks in advance!

I could be wrong (I often am) but I don’t think the microphone can be shared. It’s one module or another.

Thanks for the response, @Mykle1 . @strawberry-3-141 asked me to debug and I added debug:true to the config file but am not sure where the debug log data is stored. Any help on finding the debug data?

It almost hurts to ask that question

Thanks!

@tnp0327 minimize the mirror window (alt-spacebar, n) and the terminal windows used to start the mirror will be shown… the debug is in that window…

least thats how I do it!..

this debugs the node_helper
ctrl-shift-i will open the mirror debug window (select console tab) this will show the module level debug

@tnp0327 the file that gets generated is located at modules/MMM-voice/debug.log

@strawberry-3-141 here is a snapshot of the directory. I do not see a debug.log file. Do you know why this could happen?

Thanks

@tnp0327 can you show me the mmm-voice part of your config js

[tnp0327]

@strawberry-3-141 I originally had it in the config section but moved it up below “position”. However, I am still not seeing a debug.log file. I rebooted and still nothing.

[strawberry 3.141]

@tnp0327 it needs to be in the config section

[tnp0327]

@strawberry-3-141 thanks! I moved it to the config section.

I still do not see a debug.log file.

When I run MM, the MMM-voice area (bottom left) says Initialising… and underneath that it says undefined.
