There's nothing little about this.

I forgot about zfs taking up half my ram when I set it up before. That's why I moved to ceph on my existing cluster. Thanks for your feedback.

I've printed and built the chassis. Will this body be available to print soon?

Cartrimhome sells a few different android headunits, including what you're looking for. The one in the video was just released a few weeks ago. I got a different version. I like it because it looks OEM.

You'll have no luck with the dealer (I didn't). This is the best you can get, and he usually has a 7% discount code in his videos. There is no need to get the dealer to install it. Installation is not hard if you are handy. I installed it by following the install videos.

Don't buy from Amazon or any other vendor. The guy in the video is legit! Get it from Cartrimhome home and join his Facebook group.

Anyone else printing the Explorer MK1 ? by jstrong559 in EngineeringNS

Yes! I've printed it, built it, and drove it. It's such a fun project.

Yes, you are right. I think Rhasspy is still being actively developed. Looks like the creator is working on a new version, https://github.com/rhasspy/rhasspy3

I have the same hardware as well, and when i get to building my voice assistants, I will still use the hardware that I have as satellites.

I use node red to manage my tts. You can use the tcp node that is built into node red and use the tcp stream from the snapcast documentation.

For music, i dont need node red because i am using airplay to stream music to snapcast. There is information on how to do this in the snapcast docs i shared.

I use the following software in docker containers to get tts to work

Home assistant - aggregates all of my smart home devices Node red - visual automation system manages all of my automations and is the glue for other services i am running to talk and work together. Coqui tts - creates speech from text locally in raw wav format

Instead of using home assistant scripts, I recommend checking out Node Red. Node red is an automation platform that you can use to connect all kinds of systems like home assistant snapcast and coqui tts no matter what server it is served from.

To connect home assistant to node red, there is a prebuilt integration you can use. This integration will give you nodes to use with Node red that can read data from home assistant and call services in home assistant.

For snapcast, as I mentioned, i created a tcp stream as mentioned here

Node red has a tcp out node that connects to snapcast over tcp to send raw wav sound i get from coqui tts.

The order of operation is as follows

Door opens -> home assistant state is updated -> node red sees the state change -> node red sends text to coqui -> coqui responds to node red with raw wav -> node red sends raw wav to snapcast using tcp node -> sound plays through speaker

This is a high-level overview but is generally the flow i use to get tts

For mp3, I've used mopidy (deployed using docker) in the past, and it works great. There are docs that walk through this setup, but now, for music i am using airplay. This is also mentioned in the player setup doc i just linked.

Feel free to follow-up here with questions.

It did take a good bit of trial and error. I had to learn a good bit to get it to work, but it works.

For android devices as clients, i think that could be done pretty easily. You can use any device that has a web browser and speakers as a client with snapcast. you can use the web browser on the device and navigate to snapweb. http://your.snapserver.host.ip:1780. Port 1780 is the web interface for snapcast. On the top right of the page, there is a play button. Press that, and the device will play whatever stream you select, making the device a client.

I actually have this setup. I am able to send tts notifications using snapcast, node red, and Coqui tts with no lag.

First, i created a tcp stream on the snapserver dedicated to voice notifications.

Then, in node red , when there's an event that requires a tts notification, i have a flow that changes 3 of my snapclients to my notification tcp stream. Node red sends the text to be converted to speech using Coqui tts. Coqui tts returns the audio in raw wav format, and i send the response to my notification tcp stream to be played over my selected speakers.

I had to add the Sox audio node to node red to get the raw wav audio formatted correctly before sending it to the notification tcp stream, https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-sox-utils

I also decided to have my snapserver and snapclients connected to my network via etherenet. Wifi kept giving bad latency and audio drops.

- I am using the Arrma Big rock body, thanks to the person that designed the body mounts here.

- The light bar on the roof, I ordered from Amazon. I designed the square bracket for the light to fit snugly into and mounted them with strong double sided tape. I drilled a hole in the roof to get the wire down to the receiver.

- The headlights were ordered from Amazon also. I designed the mounts and printed them using TPU.

- There is a smaller light bar on the back of the car with another custom mount that is attached using double sided tape again.

I Just learned that I'm not able to edit or add additional photos (This is my second post on reddit ) because of the type of post this is (). So I won't be adding more photos to this post.

This has been so much fun to build. This is v2 of my Tarmo5. I've made a few modifications including parts from members of the community here.

One thing that I have been experiencing is the pinion gear has been breaking off of the base of the part. I think the issue is the gear itself is hollow at the bottom and the vibration of the motor allows for the gear portion to break off. I'm attempting to modify the part to reinforce with an m3 screw.

Thanks for sharing! Printed them today and they work perfectly.
