update to Sean,
Hi @Sean , Hi @ejay-ibm y sorry for the possible stupid question but it’s not clear to me what i should put in config file esp. in both trigger lines.
I am using both Mk2 AND hotword together… so a bit confusion here…

trigger: "HOTWORD_RESUME", // HOTWORD_LISTENING if you use MMM-HOTWORD  or HOTWORD_RESUME if you use MMM-AssistantMk2

trigger: "ASSISTANT_UNDERSTOOD", // HOTWORD_SLEEPING if you use MMM-HOTWORD  or HOTWORD_PAUSE if you use MMM-AssistantMk2

Also the i am not able to make the jarvis-talk2.gif “talk”
thx for your clarification

Hello all, was just wondering if and how difficult it would be possible to add a kinda face animation in Mk2? I have seen Hello-Lucy and i found the idea cool but the face is kind of creepy :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hi @ejay-ibm, was a bit busy last days… couldn’t work on MM. I finally install both MMM-Hotword and Mk2. Works fine but need some fine tuning. Maybe you or anybody can guide/help me on the following:

Mk2 side, i still need to understand how it works and how i can “interact” with the other modules… If you have a simple example to show how to “link” Mk2 with any other modules, it would be very helpful!
As usual thx to all for always supporting the community!

finally what i did and what did work is :)

sudo apt-get remove nodered -y
sudo apt-get remove nodejs nodejs-legacy -y
sudo apt-get remove npm -y
sudo curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
node -v
npm -v

@Mykle1, thx for your post. It appears that when i want to check npm version, the system issues :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm -v
-bash: npm: command not found

Therefore something went wrong during the system upgrade to stretch.
If i am not wrong npm comes along with nodejs which i have current version

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ nodejs -v
v8.11.1

I think i would just install it again but i don’t know if I should do it from /home/pi or from inside /home/pi/MagicMirror ?

@ejay-ibm, i wanted to follow your good practice and update MM to latest (ok) and OS to stretch (ok) but now it pm2 won’t start MM automatically as it did in the past… would kindly help me to solve this issue before i can install mk2?
thx alot for any help as well

@ejay-ibm, @THeStigh i have installed MMM-Hotword. I hope correctly? as i got only warning via npm like

npm WARN MMM-Hotword@1.1.0 No repository field.
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Hotword $ npm install --save snowboy
npm WARN deprecated cryptiles@2.0.5: This version is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to the latest version.
npm WARN deprecated boom@2.10.1: This version is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to the latest version.
npm WARN deprecated hoek@2.16.3: This version is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to the latest version.
npm WARN MMM-Hotword@1.1.0 No repository field.

I am not sure how i can test it tho?
Or there is nothing to expect with only MMM-hotword installed?
(sorry if my question is stupid :) )

Hello all!
Have been looking around for a suitable voice command for my MM since a while but couldn’t get to pick up one that does/accept some pre-req. as:

a bit of privacy as wake up hotword &
interaction with MM &
one that works well, is reliable and not a pain to install :)

I have gone trough kalliope, open jarvis, thinking about Mk2assistant bur not tried yet…

any sharing/experience would be much appreciated!

by the way what do you guys use?

@strawberry-3-141 i would like to have it “again” :) as well- You should have my mail somewhere…if not i’ll send u again. Is there any info somewhere about what the app can do? thx

@bolish
I was also checking for a mic in case and found some guys used a mic branded “Andoer”.
Didnt try it yet

@bolish that’s exactly what i was thinking but thx for the recommendations… i will even not try an attempt then. i wanted smt “beautiful” as you mentioned but without seeing the sensor…
hmm i’ll think about smt or maybe i’ll check another solution as voice command… with jarvis

@bolish i thought about it meantimes i am waiting for delivery… i was thinking to make a kind of slot in one of the wooden frame side, just enough to make so that the wood layer is so thin that i hope it will let pass the gesture but it will be difficult to do as my mirror is already build now and i can’s say for now if it will work. if you come up with another idea… feel free to share :)

@Mykle1 : i won’t try it with rpi3:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes: that’s why i was asking which other board with gpio connectivity would be more suitable…
@Eunanibus : i totally understand, no prob… i think many of us are waiting for a light version :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: if you feel like digging into it ;-) if i can help you (mostly testing) because my dev skills are quite low, pls let me know.

Hello,
Still no light version for rpi3?
Otherwise any suggestions about which sbc board (which gpios) would be enough powerful to run this? and of course MM… :upside-down_face:

@sean said in Gesture control with APDS-9960:

PAJ7620u2

no idea as well… waiting on my sensor APDS… once received, i’ll test with your module :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

@broberg yea haven’t neither think about room for it while building my one… :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

@broberg did you find any suitable solution or stopped your project?

@broberg have already a 5v fan… i am rather interested in gaining knowledge about transistors by building a “project” to cool down my whole MM system.

@broberg thx for your input. As mentioned above, i wanted to avoid using a relay to have a silent system

Hello all!
This topic has already been discussed few times as i saw but I didn’t find info to achieve what i want. Maybe someone is also looking for a similar solution with some electronic skills and we can work together to find the “perfect” solution :p (a relay based solution is omitted on purpose).

The idea is to have a circuit to control 2 fans (12v - 0.33A) with either a mosfet or a bjt with a good schematic that will protect the Pi with some pull-down resistor, diodes, etc and finally cool down the whole mirror when the temp threshold is reached.
If anyone is interested to have such a system and gain knowledge at the same time in electronic, feel free to share ideas.
First objective would be to determine which type of transistor would be the best: mosfet or bipolar and why?
