ReSpeaker 4-Mic Array HAT Mycroft A.I. Skill
A while ago I created a Mycroft A.I. skill for the ReSpeaker 4-Mic array HAT. It was originally only published on their skill-feedback section, however since I pushed a couple of changes a few days ago and I am not able to test it myself because of a possible hardware failure, I thought I share […]
[DEV] MycroftOS – A bare minimal OS based on Buildroot – PART 5
It has been a while once again since the last update. The previous blogpost on this topic mentioned a second alpha version being available. This blogpost is actually about the fourth alpha release. Yes we skip the third. It has been released on the Mycroft A.I. forums in between, but that was already some time […]
[DEV] MycroftOS – A bare minimal OS based on Buildroot – PART 4
A first (very) early alpha release is ready. Still a lot of things to fix/change/create/etc however it looks like I have all Mycroft stuff working one way or the other. I could use some feedback, both positive as negative. So if you have some free/spare time and a spare SD card, please give it a […]
[DEV] MycroftOS – A bare minimal OS based on Buildroot – PART 3
October went by (time flies when you are having fun!), hence the first week of November is also already gone so it is about time to update you all about the progress on MycroftOS. In my last update I mentioned that the git commit history was a complete mess. Last month I took the time, […]
[DEV] MycroftOS – A bare minimal OS based on Buildroot – PART 2
In my previous first blog post about the MycroftOS project, I informed you all about the start of the project. Now I did mention in that blog post that it was most likely a bit premature to already blog about it. However in the last few weeks I have been able to work on the […]
[DEV] MycroftOS – A bare minimal OS based on Buildroot – PART 1
This is a very early post (probably way to soon anyway, but…) in the [DEV] MycroftOS project blog series. MycroftOS is a bare minimal OS based on Buildroot which has only one purpose which is running Mycroft without any further additional packages and / or overhead. At the end of the project, it could be […]
Compiling WPE Webkit for the RaspberryPi
Recently I became aware of a very nice project that makes it possible to run a complete fullscreen borderless hardware accelerated webbrowser on the Raspberry Pi. As you might have read in one of the blog posts in the [DiY] Personal A.I. Assistant series, I would like to run it on the device and making […]
(Cross)Compiling software for Raspbian in a chroot environment.
By using the Raspbian distro on the Raspberry PI (or any debian / main stream distro for that matter on any embedded device), most of the software packages that you would want to install are available within the package manager of the distribution. Sometimes there some small / medium sized programs missing, or you want […]
Ordering some Goodies
As discussed in Part-2 of the [DIY] Home (Personal AI) Assistant blog post series we decided we needed some hardware to buy. Basically a Raspberry Pi, ReSpeaker 4-Mic Array and a nive looking case. Well, that’s what I did! Here is what I specifically ordered, where and a quick glance at all the parts. I […]
