dditional commands you can use from the command line:
mycroft-cli-client - command line client, useful for debugging
msm - Mycroft Skills Manager, install new Skills from Github
say_to_mycroft - one-shot commands from the command line
speak - say something to the user
test_microphone - record and playback to test your microphone
That did it! Working great now for a full day! Only trouble I seem to be having at the moment is getting the output volume to change. Even when Mycroft tells me that volume is at zero, it’s still blasting away out the AIY speaker. Any attempts to set volume with amixer at the command line also seem fruitless. Any tips for checking if the volume skill is functioning properly?
Are you all using the AIY image, or the Picroft image? I’ve been trying to follow the info here, using the Pycroft image, but without luck so far. The configure-driver.sh script isn’t available unless you git checkout voicekit on the AIY repo (as mentioned here: https://github.com/google/aiyprojects-raspbian/issues/378#issuecomment-390433370 ).
I’ve sorted it out. I’m now able to make a new disk image compatible with the Google AIY Kit, from the stock raspbian_Picroft_2018-03-14 image, based on info I gathered from this thread. I am not, however, installing the whole aiyprojects-raspbian toolchain, since that seems to add a lot of setup time and unneeded packages. My setup steps are in a gist here: https://gist.github.com/clebio/5c0d5af3fbd800e9ecf500ccbed096ac
