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

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?
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:

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.
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.
Did anyone try this speakerphone/mic combo from Hamlet? It’s quite cheap (around 10 euro) and it should be supported under linux (from the windows drivers I see it uses a CMedia CM106/108 chip).
Actually, I was looking for tjoen’s custom enclosure for the Google AIY kit. This was referenced in the post prior to mine. But thanks for the Mark I links, they will be a good starting point for other designs.
