Picroft not responding to wake word

Archive - Mycroft Project Picroft

Hi,

I’m running the latest stable Picroft image (2018-03-14) from the download page on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (not B+) with a USB mic and 3.5mm output. I can’t get Mycroft to respond to ‘Hey Mycroft’.

If I pacmd set-default-source 1 and arecord -f S16_LE -r 16000 -d 5 test.wav then I can play back the file successfully.

Incidentally the output from pacmd list-sources (and therefore occasionally the device index) sometimes changes after reboot. Is there any other way of specifying a device?

I’ve noticed in the logs that /home/pi/.mycroft/mycroft.conf isn’t loaded so I’ve symlinked /home/mycroft/.mycroft/mycroft.conf there. Should I just edit /home/mycroft/.mycroft/mycroft.conf instead? This isn’t clear in the Picroft audio troubleshooting documentation, which just says to edit ~/.mycroft/mycroft.conf without specifying which user’s home directory ~ refers to. I have the following in /home/mycroft/.mycroft/mycroft.conf:

{
  "listener": {
    "device_index": 1
  }
}

I also seem to have an issue with the venv not being activated at boot. Is this normal on Picroft? I couldn’t find any documentation about this. On login, I get the following (note the ImportError):

Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent
permitted by applicable law.

This image is designed to make getting started with Mycroft easy.  It
is pre-configured for a Raspberry Pi that has a speaker or headphones
plugged in to the Pi's headphone jack, and a USB microphone.

I can run test_microphone and hear the sound I’ve recorded but only once I’ve activated the venv. (This isn’t obvious from the welcome information at login.) I’m also getting lots of ALSA errors:

In case it’s relevant, I’ve also followed these instructions to reconfigure locales (although I am in Britain).

I’d be grateful for any help getting this working.

Thanks,

Thanks for reporting these issues @gregrs.

To be honest I think the best thing to do here would be to try the Unstable Picroft image - that March image is 6 months old now and is quite out of date with where the Mycroft software is at.

Thanks @KathyReid. I’ve downloaded raspbian-stretch_Picroft_2018-08-01_preview.img linked from the Picroft documentation and got it working, with a few bumps along the way which I’ll describe in case it helps you improve the software.

I set up via the prompts on first boot. This is a nice touch but it would be good to have a list of possible wifi networks and to be able to see the password you’re typing, just typing it once. Also where it says WEP, this actually works for WPA networks too, which was a bit confusing.

I ran dev_setup.sh as asked without rebuilding Mimic, although you might want to hint to users that it’s in the mycroft-core directory.

start-mycroft.sh cli gave me repeating errors which were difficult to read and made it unusable:

It looked like there was a problem here so I tried to troubleshoot and found that pulseaudio wasn’t installed so I did sudo apt install pulseaudio and rebooted.

On reboot… Yessss!! I got a mic level in the CLI client for the first time and when I said ‘Hey Mycroft’ I wasn’t met by absolute silence for what seemed like the millionth time using the stable Picroft image! I’m happy to be able to experiment with using Mycroft now.

By the way, I’m happy to submit a PR for the ‘WEP’ thing I mentioned but couldn’t find where the code for the setup wizard lives on GitHub…

This is super useful troubleshooting and diagnostics, THANK YOU!

The enclosure-picroft code is here but I don’t see the code that @steve.penrod has used to create the Beta image (I checked for forks too) - I know this was a “what can I do late one night” thing (seriously, Steve like waved his hands and by magic the new Beta appeared) so the code may not be up yet.

Got it… It was in the stretch branch. Pull request here
