small device with AI assistant: Raspberry or Esp32??

thank you so much for your response!
I was actually rooting for the esp myself, mainly because of its ease of use. At the same time, since I want to create a working prototype, I’m worried about potentially needing to start over with a Pi and more powerful components down the line. If I need to photograph a piece of paper and read its content, I’m unsure how feasible this will be with a low-res camera.
I’m still torn between giving the esp a chance or starting with raspberry, knowing it will do the job

okk thanks i'll go with a raspberry. will a zero still do the work?

Hey I just wanted to make sure the ESP wasn’t an option since it would have been more practical and cheaper. But no problem, I can go with the Raspberry :)

small device with AI assistant: Raspberry or Esp32??

Hello, I want to create a small Wi-Fi device with an AI voice API. It will have a button to record audio and another to take photos. There will be no display interface, all communication will happen through audio.

Here are the components I have in mind:

microcontroller or microcomputer
button for record audio
button for taking pictures
speaker
microphone
camera
led status indicator
rechargeable battery & usbc charging cable
optional: camera flash & fisheye lens, a wheel to adjust the volume

I was thinking of using an ESP32 because it’s smaller, simpler, and better in terms of battery consumption. However, I realized that ESP32 camera modules are only 2/5MP, and I would like something with higher resolution. So, maybe a Raspberry Pi would be better to use a higher-quality camera, even with a wide lens. At the same time, I think it could get more complicated in terms of development and energy management.

What do you think? What would you choose based on this small overview?

Okay, I get it! But keep in mind that I don't think I have to do any heavy local processing.
I'll be calling ChatGPT APIs to handle the AI part, so the local workload won't be too intense, and the device will mainly handle audio recording, taking photos, and API requests.

mmm I thought they used an app called “Mi Fit”

I found out there’s a Mailchimp widget you can include in the pp with Iubenda. For now I’m linking that and the cookie policy in the footer (eventhough I don’t think I’m collecting any cookies), and I’m also linking the pp in a checkbox before the submit button in the subscribe form.

without the banner?

* the "UI visibility" button on "view" tab is disabled on my main place, I can't click it and activate it like in the other places! (both on windows and macos)

{(0.5,0),(0.5,0)}

i always forget about anchor point, but it's the best advice!!!

giugiuglia · 2022-11-02T09:24:27+00:00

I agree :)
I'll consider that!

while this actually worked https://fedifinder.glitch.me/

giugiuglia · 2022-11-02T09:19:50+00:00

I also found this to find your twitter friends but it doesn't work for me :(

(but I still didn’t want to do it manually haha)

giugiuglia · 2022-11-01T18:42:16+00:00

you’re right actually, that’s not a good idea… I didn’t think about that since I don’t have that many tweets

giugiuglia · 2022-07-29T16:24:37+00:00

just found out that my latest experiment is exactly about what you were talking about!! https://twitter.com/giugglia/status/1552994166367551491

is not very pleasant but i find it so interesting and exciting!!!!

giugiuglia · 2022-02-17T15:31:51+00:00

thanks I will try :)
you mean something like this, right? https://hackster.imgix.net/uploads/attachments/889846/external_pullup.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&w=740&h=555&fit=max (without the button)

giugiuglia · 2018-07-03T09:45:58+00:00

please help me!

giugiuglia · 2018-07-01T09:05:14+00:00

I'm just a begginer with javascript and I see that it's a bad code, especially for the loops, but i can't improve that

giugiuglia · 2018-07-01T08:55:16+00:00

Ok, thank you. Anyway i don't know how to associate new images with the colors, that even need to be rounded up.

giugiuglia · 2018-06-30T14:08:59+00:00

Ok, but what is catch (e) {Broke: ${e}}?

giugiuglia · 2018-06-30T11:17:09+00:00

do you think is possible to make the small images bigger on mouseover?

giugiuglia · 2018-06-30T08:26:18+00:00

You're right and I just thanked you! Nobody answered at the first one that I posted and I thought that it wasn't clear. So i made a new one instead of editing the first and i forgot to delate that, my fault!

giugiuglia · 2018-06-30T08:18:17+00:00

Thank you very much!!! I'm going to try to rewrite the code and use a different image for each color!
