Re: Barnes and Noble Availability

A Memphis area store got them last week, but they went quickly. A St. Louis-area store got them 10 days ago and they sold out in one day.

Hopefully, Google will offer the stand-alone kits soon.

Gotcha! Yeah, I had come across that project before I went to the link that Silverlock had included.

Also, here is a link to how someone at Android Authority chipped together his own way around not having one of the kits:

Do-It-Yourself Google AIY

Getting a Google AIY Kit is insanely expensive! So, is there a way to use the Google Voice Kit SD image, Google Assistant SDK and Google Cloud Speech API and put together my own version of the kit? Hardware wise, it seems like you are basically giving your Pi: 1.) Sound Output (speaker) 2.) Sound In...

Barnes and Noble Availability

Hello! I understand that Google Voice Kits are becoming available at Barnes and Nobles stores around the country. My questions: 1.) Has anyone been able to buy one? If so, in what city did you buy one? 2.) What is the official name of the stand-alone product? "Google Voice Kit," "Google AIY Kit," or...

Re: 100% CPU all the time

Cayenne was the culprit. I killed it. :-)

If any of you out there want to know how to uninstall it, here you go:

Code: Select all

sudo systemctl disable myDevices
rm -rf /etc/systemd/system/myDevices.service
rm -rf /etc/init.d/myDevices
rm -rf /usr/bin/myDevices

I have built computers before. Also, I have Raspbian Jessie with Pixel running ...

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. It is running at 100% pretty much constantly.

Re: T-Cobbler Plus Installation and Usage

Great! Thank you. I think I will power the Bus Strips with the Cobbler, since that will automatically be done if I use the CanaKit version. That way, I will be using one methodology for my breadboard set up. The wire color sounds like a good idea! I will go with that. Where do you get your wires and...

Re: T-Cobbler Plus Installation and Usage

Thank you for the reply! Okay, so I should do this as setup with the Adafruit T-Cobbler: On the 3.3V Side of the Breadboard with T-Cobbler plugged in: * Run one wire from the 3V3 pin to a positive hole on that side's Bus Strip. * Run one wire from the GND pin to a negative hole on that side's Bus St...

Re: T-Cobbler Plus Installation and Usage

Thank you again! I have a thin, continuous breadboard. The red and blue lines are continuous. I am guessing if you have one of those pictured in that "pitfall" post, with a break in the blue and red lines, you would need to run jumpers across the gap. With my Adafruit T-Cobbler, is the following log...

Re: T-Cobbler Plus Installation and Usage

Cool, thanks! I noticed that the CanaKit and the 26-pin Sunfounder Extension Board I got in one of their kits have pins that go into the breadboard's power rails. The Adafruit doesn't. Does this make a difference? Or is it just a choice in design? I would guess that I would just wire according to th...

Dear Raspberry Pi Community, I have both the Adafruit T-Cobbler Plus and the Raspberry Pi GPIO Extension Board v2.2. I am guessing that both operate on the same principle. Is there documentation on how to install either of these devices? And, do any of you know of any documentation on how to use the...
