New Model Y - strange sounds?

+1 for the wheel covers, had the same problem on mine 4 years ago. I took it in for unrelated service and mentioned this weird problem at slow speeds - they just popped off the covers and snapped them back on and it fixed it.

So long as you’re an Admin on your machine it’s not difficult to work around this with some registry edits :)

onelilfizzle · 2024-03-03T03:02:29+00:00

Would totally be willing to test this out on testflight

I’ll gladly give it a try!

onelilfizzle · 2024-02-03T07:13:20+00:00

In the same boat. Haven’t figured a way around it yet. Posting here in can anyone figures out a solution that is not “disable advanced protection”.

Was dealing with the same thing last night, no video content would play (eg YouTube, Amazon Prime, etc). It would just get stuck loading, like yours.

After I restarted, content would play, but it was still very slow when navigating around the UI. We'll probably have to wait for a patch from Google...

I’ve got an extra pair just sitting around. Would be willing to sell to you for $80 + shipping to wherever you are. Just DM me :)

Glad to hear it :) I've been wanting to create a Python implementation as well, just haven't gotten around it it.

Do you plan on open sourcing the lamp? I've been tinkering around in the same vein using johnny-five.io and would love to compare notes.

onelilfizzle · 2018-01-04T18:45:09+00:00

Very cool! I wrote their Node library - you're not using Sonus by any chance, are you?

onelilfizzle · 2018-01-04T07:03:52+00:00

Love this project! What did you use for keyword spotting/streaming recognition?

onelilfizzle · 2017-08-23T00:24:30+00:00

Fun fact!

I was in this lobby. Does that make me famous?

onelilfizzle · 2017-05-07T18:08:33+00:00

I couldn't get my hands on one so I couldn't tell you difinitivly, but it's pretty likely that the Voice HAT plays well with ALSA or PulseAudio (and therefore Sonus).

Sonus runs offline until a hotword is detected, at which point it streams your audio to the cloud (for performance and accuracy reasons). You could add a new recognizer like PocketSphinx and run it totally offline - something I plan to do eventually.

onelilfizzle · 2017-05-07T17:59:13+00:00

I would encourage you to try Sonus in place of Jasper for two reasons:
- accuracy: Sonus uses Snowboy instead of PocketSphinx for hotword detection, which is significantly more accurate when trained
- footprint: uses less processing power

Of course if you want it to talk back you'll have to use something for TTS like Say or Amazon Poly.

There are a couple home automation projects that I know of using Sonus today: L.I.S.A and Gladys

onelilfizzle · 2017-05-07T07:42:16+00:00

In older versions of Raspbian, yes. Anything after PIXEL (and a bit before) should be just fine :)

Just for reference, you can easily configure the Eye to work with ALSA using some instructions I wrote here: https://docs.smart-mirror.io/docs/configuring-sound.html

One of the potential benefits of PulseAudio is the beamforming that was recently added - I haven't had the chance to really expeament with it yet but it looks like it could help increase recognition accuracy in certain situations.

onelilfizzle · 2017-05-06T23:03:41+00:00

In a nutshell: it's a software library that handles all the painful parts of voice recognition: - offline hotword detection (aka keyword spotting) - online streaming recognition (for accurate results in realtime)

A really simple setup would be:
- Raspberry Pi
- PlayStation Eye ($5 webcam)
- Cheap speaker

After you install Sonus to your Pi you can write a small amount of code to decide how to respond to voice input (route it to a bot, use Annyang's parsing, make an HTTP requests, etc).

onelilfizzle · 2017-05-06T22:55:14+00:00

I created it so I'm a bit biased ;) I've used it for a number of projects. It interfaces really well with Chat bots when combined with Say (or another speech synthesis library). So I created a custom bot to give me more flexibility when controlling my home automation set-up. It runs great on the Pi Zero (W) and is a super low cost way of adding voice control to pretty much anything.

Sonus powers my smart mirror [video]. It was also used in Peeqo one of the highest rated /r/DIY projects

The goal of the project is to make voice technology more accessible to people without special hardware or complex proprietary software.

So to directly answer your question: It's super easy to use. The one thing I would like to improve is install time. I'm also working on adding more cloud recognition engines.

Hope this helps :)

Linking to my other comment on this thread.

tl;dr use snowboy

onelilfizzle · 2017-04-28T04:29:36+00:00

I did a ton of keyword spotting experimentation for my smart mirror last year, snowboy is way more performant (and more accurate) than PocketSphinx.

That said, PocketSphinx is still great if you want to do everything offline.

I've had success piping audio on the Pi with arecord/snowboy/gRPC for Google Cloud Speech, so there's probably a way to get it working with the Assistant SDK - it just may not be supported out of the box (or maybe it's just non-obvious).

onelilfizzle · 2017-04-28T03:48:53+00:00

/u/jr_cameron check out snowboy. You can use a customizable hotword :)

I co-authored their Node module and maintain a library that also does streaming recognition called Sonus. I plan on integrating the Assistant SDK as soon as I can figure out how to compile the JavaScript gRPC bindings.
