This is a project I’ve been working on and off for a few years now. I’d bought a raspberry pi 3b+ some 2-3 years ago and set it up for magic mirror. At that time, however, I didn’t have the proper know how/resources to build the frame.

Fast forward to today, due to the rona virus lockdown, I finally got around to build my frame.

I found online, some dude had a AIY google voice kit installed so that it has Google Asistant built in. He mentions the newer model voice kit 2 is now in the market and the only difference is the mic is now integrated and the process would be still the same.

Naively, I purchased a google AIY voice kit 2. When the box came, it said it was only compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero w. And it was included in the kit. I’ve read forums and pretty much all of them said it was possible to install mirror 2 on raspberry pi zero but it is a difficult task and the mirror would be slow.

My question to all the internet is 2 parts.

1. Can I use the AIY VOICE KIT 2 with raspberry pi 3b+ instead of the pi zero w?

2. What’s the difference between using the voice kit vs installing google assistant without it? ( https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/9356/the-latest-install-guide-mm-w-google-assistant/2 )

Also, I’m a complete beginner and know no coding. All I can do is follow instructions and copy pasta from the internet.

Thank you all in advance.

@lavolp3

Should’a seen that coming. lol.

@CreatibOfficiel

Thank you for the prompt reply.

The link you provided above from github takes me to a page where I can download the img and flash it to my clean sd card. Is that all I have to do or are there more steps to it? In other words, do I have to go to the google aiy download page and download that too? Or some other steps that I’m not aware of?

Sorry for sounding such a noob but I am completely new to this. All I’ve managed so far is to make the mirror frame and buy the acrylic mirror. The rasbian I installed a few years ago seem to have gone out of date as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

@yawns Thank you so very much. Thats exactly the one. Didn’t really occur to me to search for uk, only searched for London. Apologies, should’ve been more thorough before I posted on to the forums.

Thanks again!

Hello good people!

I was looking to see if I could find TFL London bus live times module but there isn’t one available! There is a bunch of others for all buses around the world but not for London! There’s a tube one but that doesn’t help me.
Could there be a particular reason as to why no one has done this yet? I would’ve tried myself if only I were that savvy.

Could someone please help me with it.
