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.

johnmiller

Thanks!

You got yours for a LOT less than what you'd have to pay on eBay!

johnmiller

Thanks! Yeah, I did that, and signed up for two email addresses, just to be sure.

johnmiller

Okay, cool.

Thanks!

I am working on the upgrade now. I have previously done only : sudo apt-get update But, I guess I need to do both : sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get my Pi up to date . One thing. I had to add a -f to get the upgrade to work, as in: sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade I got this initiall...

Thank you for your help! I gave that a try and got this: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get -f install vlc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies...

johnmiller

Ooooo! Very cool. Thanks!

I want to install an audio player on my Raspberry Pi 2, running Raspbian Jessie with Pixel. I tried following these instructions: https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Installing_VLC/#Debian_stable_.28jessie.29 Specifically the following: Debian stable (jessie) Add the following lines to your /etc...

johnmiller

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

Sorry that my reply bothered you.

johnmiller

Thank you!

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

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...

johnmiller

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...

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
rm -rf /etc/myDevices/

johnmiller

Thank you for the replies! I appreciate them. A Pi 3 would help a little bit, but I am guessing I would max that baby out too in no time! :-) Here is one thought I had: Just use a PC or design a Linux-dedicated computer. I have built computers before. Also, I have Raspbian Jessie with Pixel running ...

Thank you!

Thank you!

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B. It is running at 100% pretty much constantly. Here is what I am running: * Raspbian Jessie with Pixel (updated) * FlightRadar24 Feed - http://feed.flightradar24.com/ - Sends flight data to server using USB antenna. * VNC Server - https://www.realvnc.com/raspberrypi/ ...

johnmiller

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...

johnmiller

I like PITA's! (You are talking about the bread, aren't you?) ;-) Thank you about the CanaKit information. I have one of their GPIO boards in my Shopping Cart there. Meanwhile, I am still wondering about using my Adafruit version. Do I need to run power and ground from the extension board (Adafruit ...

johnmiller

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...

johnmiller

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...

johnmiller

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...

johnmiller

Thank you again for the replies! I very much appreciate it. So, the rule for ribbon cables and the Pi is that the stripe goes to Pin 1. Mine is black with one white stripe. I don't have a rainbow-colored cable, but have seen them. What is the rule for those? I saw your pages, but might have missed w...

johnmiller

Thank you for the reply! I will go through the page you included. There are LOTS of questions I will most likely have. Here is one that I came up with last night: Preface: My understanding is that, the extension board is just that, an extension of the GPIO. So, you must treat wiring the same with an...

johnmiller

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...
