Anyone who has mycroft running on a AIY Voice kit ? this little box seems perfect for mycroft, and I just assempled one and flashed it whith picroft.
Mycroft seems to work, but missing configuration og voicehat etc.
So if someone has done this I would be happy so I dont has to figure everything out myself

Steve/Josh,
Did you ever get that one up and running that I got for you?

I’m embarrassed to say that I never did ( though Steve has a fully assembled unit ). I didn’t have soldering setup here in Palo Alto so I never got around to it.
I do have it and plan to get to it at some point. Maybe I’ll find some time over Christmas.
Yup got it working.
Also made an attempt on porting some of the python code of the led and button:
Some code that seems to be working:

I just got Mycroft up and running on the Google AIY Voice Kit as well.
It’s much easier to install Mycroft on the Google Voice Kit image rather than fiddle with the Voice HAT drivers in picroft. For reference, here is the procedure I used after flashing the Google Voice Kit image and booting it up:
sudo apt-get update
Install Mycroft for Linux –
cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-core.git
cd mycroft-core
bash dev_setup.sh
Start the PulseAudio daemon (might need to reboot after doing this the first time) –
pulseaudio -D
Start Mycroft –
cd ~/mycroft-core
./start-mycroft.sh debug
Obviously you’ll want to have a bash script to run PulseAudio and Mycroft at system startup if you plan on having your Voice Kit be a standalone Mycroft box.
If anyone is ambitious enough to try to get the Voice HAT drivers working on picroft, here are some steps I took before I gave up and did it the other way around:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Get drivers from the raspberry pi kernel –
sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel
Clone the Google AIY Voice project and use it to configure the Voice HAT driver –
cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/google/aiyprojects-raspbian.git voice-recognizer-raspi
cd ~/voice-recognizer-raspi
sudo scripts/configure-driver.sh
sudo scripts/install-alsa-config.sh
sudo reboot
** Not sure if this is necessary **
cd ~/voice-recognizer-raspi
sudo scripts/install-deps.sh
sudo scripts/install-services.sh
List PulseAudio sources –
pacmd list-sources
Set the default source to whichever one is the microphone (index 1 for me) –
pacmd set-default-source 1
At this point Mycroft was able to output TTS through the speaker using the “speak” command, e.g. “speak hi”. He could also process speech through the mic, and his responses to my commands were output to the debug screen. However, his responses were not output to the speaker for whatever reason. It’s probably just a configuration file that needs fixing, but I wasn’t able to figure it out.
That would create a virtualenv on the pi, right?
I’m not sure if I want that. It seemed to give me more speech lag on my ubuntu tests on the mycroft,
There is much more info on how to fix those speech problems you had installing on mycroft image in another thread: PiCroft issue with pairing
Yes, the virtualenv is all I was able to get working. Thanks for pointing me to the other thread!
It looks like you are all much farther along, and I appreciate the help.
Hey,
I tried installing following @tnoms steps from the image of Google AIY and I am getting some some modules not loading when in the CLI:

The speaker and microphone are working but whenever i talk to it the only reply I get is ‘Wait until I finish booting up’
thanks for any advices on this!
Hi there @zhampu, welcome and great to have you here.
This error is likely caused by us being “in between” two releases - 18.2.5b and 18.2.6b. We’ve had a couple of hold-ups on the 18.2.6b release, and it hasn’t quite shipped yet - apologies.
If you try pip install pytz then try again, does that do the trick?
Please do let me know how you go.
Best, Kathy
