Q: Does the Jabra 410 work as microphone and speaker when connected via USB to Rpi3?
Also has any one investigated using the RPi HAT matrix creator? 8 directional mics on a HAT board

The sound will come out from the Jabra speaker and it sounds pretty good.
I have tested mVox USB Speakerphone and it works. As expected, the sound and mic quality is not as good as Jabra Speak410. I have to speak right on top of the mic.
Hey all!
Thanks for listing everything you’ve tried and find working. We’re starting to compile a list of known hardware that works with the current Raspberry Pi Image of Mycroft on the enclosure wiki on github. You can check it out here:
Tested another one…
The microphone is really good and is able to capture my voice from 3-5 meters away and this is more affordable than the Jabra Speak410. However, it doesn’t come with a speaker. Get this if you want to reuse your existing speaker.
Now, I wish there is a way to make use the camera. Mycroft + Facial recognition perhaps?

That’s a good find. Especially because it’s under $10.
I think I’ll order one now and try it myself…
tryed this logitech 920 web cam on 0.8.2 and 0.8.3
works ok on the test mic util.
worked ok at recognising at wake word and three questions ( 0.8.2)
but then no more responses. hang?
tested cli say hey mycroft and the network connection was still there.
rebooted and auto install 0.8.3. Same problem.
just testing P3 eye camera
Very good sound recognition …
better than logitech webcam which may be too smart for own good as far as sound level mgt.
However after 4 successful “hey mycroft” the system hung on a play wave … see below
( maybe the no response prob is due to the wav player not the myscroft server )
e.g. answered share price and then hung

We have noticed an issue with the raspberry pi analog audio. Even using aplay repeatedly can cause a hang.
Yes I was using an analog audio speaker and it hangs … will try changing to hdmi with rasp-config
I got a PS3 eye camera for less than $6. Works almost too well… it catches speech from the TV across the room.

It is HIGHLY directional.
Hi Karl!
I have a question, does mycroft (the software) work together with https://creator.matrix.one/#!/index ?
Any place I found a similar question, as here above me or on the creator.matrix forums, the question stays unanswered. Is it in someway a “stupid” or “immodest” question?

Hey!
As of now, I’m not sure. I don’t know of anyone having done so yet. I also don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work. I think it has been done, but can’t find any info on it.
I do really like it. I’m also thinking about pre-ordering the Matrix-Voice as that would definitely put the hardware on-par with an Alexa or Google Home.
Update: I totally pre-ordered the Matrix Voice. I’ll probably post something cool whenever I get it. (May?)

Matrix Voice looks very interesting project … a cut down Matrix-Creator board losing temp pressure etc to lower the price.
This pimori speaker Hat board would be great a Mycroft speaker … and the led display could indicate Mycroft status. out of stock however.

I bought the SpeakerpHat and haven’t gotten it to work yet out-of-the-box. Granted, I’m not a schooled coder, but the “picroft” doesn’t recognize it. Getting this error after running Pimoroni’s install script:

Hey did have you had any success with the Speaker pHat and picroft? I’m having the same issue and can’t seem to find any way to fix it.
Not yet. I figure I have to start over with Rasperian and install Mycroft on that. Picroft seems not to work with SpeakerpHat for reasons I am not nerdy enough to debug.
Anyone with info on Bluetooth setup it, pointers/external references would be appreciated! We’re lacking it in the wiki.
People on slack have found that the matrix.one is currently INCOMPATIBLE with picroft.
I’m using a cheap Adafruit adaptor with a cheap electret microphone capsule.
Mycroft certainly responds to questions if I stand 3m away, although as my man-cave is quite small, this means I’m standing outside the room in the hallway. Not bad!
I’m not using the audio out from the Adafruit (I have a seperate amp/speaker on my rig) but I’m pretty sure this could also be made to work.
