@BJ-Duncan What Mic do you use mate? I might just buy same one.lol

@JonoGee I mean I supposedly I have to set both IDs in config file to hw:0,0.

@BJ-Duncan
I realise both Speaker & Mic are on same Hat but does it make sense to you that the ID for aplay and arecord are exactly the same. Code included below…

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sndrpigooglevoi [snd_rpi_googlevoicehat_soundcar], device 0: Google voiceHAT SoundCard HiFi voicehat-codec-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ arecord -l
**** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sndrpigooglevoi [snd_rpi_googlevoicehat_soundcar], device 0: Google voiceHAT SoundCard HiFi voicehat-codec-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ 

@BJ-Duncan
The Mic is a combined Speaker / Mic HAT as see here… https://www.raspiaudio.com/raspiaudio-aiy

I am running Raspberry Pi3+
Version…

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Raspbian
Description:	Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.9 (stretch)

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ 

@JonoGee If devices are set as…

hw:0,0

The mirror works, but Assistant/Hotword doesm’t. I just changed to …```
plughw:0

and it crashes

@JonoGee I recognised both devices as 0 so I changed accordingly. Now i get this error message. Mirror opens but closes immediately…

@BJ-Duncan said in MMM-AssistantMk2 / MMM-Hotword Issue:

arecord -l

I get this…

Just tested. Recording & playing back fine with arecord and aplay. No problems and no error messages. Thanks for taking the time for getting in touch anyway. I’d almost given up on this.

@sdetweil As far as I am aware, I have used the latest released versions of each. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see if someone updates it or fixes problem or something. Thanks anyway for your time and help. I have made a bit of progress though. It just seems to be Snowboy now.

@JonoGee
Error message I am getting now in console is as so…

I have managed to get AssistantMk2 talking to me now in mirror but Hotword/Mic is still not functioning

@sdetweil Hi good morning. I am running Raspian.

@sdetweil No. its a Pi3 B+
How do i install openblas then?

@JonoGee There is discussion about this here…
https://github.com/Kitt-AI/snowboy/issues/126
But i don’t understand what commands I need to run. It doesn’t read very clear to my only being an absolute amateur and all. Does it make sense to you?

@sdetweil Just. Still crashing with the same error message

@sdetweil I get this error message…

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev libatlas3gf-base
Reading package lists... 0%
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libatlas3gf-base

@sdetweil Is it the LAPACK I need to install then?

I wonder if there is someone who can help me with this issue. I have been working with eouia to trying and get these modules working together. Unfortunately without any success. I am led to believe that the Snowboy module is not compatible with my system. The Mirror opens and then crashes immediately with the following error messages…

[HOTWORD] Detector starts listening.

I really hope someone can help me with this.

@sdetweil I am very jealous!! I have being working on this module for weeks now. I have finally got to this stage…

I get Chimes when MM first start up.
Its just now I can’t get to prove that my mic is working or get Assistant to output any sound or answer/recognise any voice commands. Clearly you got to this stage. What would you advise my next actions be please?
Sounds like youre doing a great job anyway. Would love to see it.
Jonathan

@JonoGee Typical. I think i just found a solution…

the root cause of your apt problems is python-lockfile, try to reinstall it with the following command:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-minimal python-lockfile
EDIT:

Hi all,

Has anyone got any ideas for this issue. Whether I try to install Alexa or AssistantMk2 I get the following error messages during setup…

  File "/usr/bin/pycompile", line 35, in <module>
    from debpython.version import SUPPORTED, debsorted, vrepr, \
  File "/usr/share/python/debpython/version.py", line 24, in <module>
    from ConfigParser import SafeConfigParser
ImportError: No module named 'ConfigParser'
dpkg: error processing package python-pyaudio (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 python-pyaudio
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I have searched all over and the only real comments i noticed was that ConfigParser change to Configparser in Python3 but I havent been able to find a solution anywhere. I hope there is an expert/magician out there that can help me out.
Regards
A hopeful desperate soul.
