Those changes will not affect any of your mods, and are easily reversible by simply re-enabling the google dtoverlay= and commenting out mine.

gregeric

You could replicate my current setup: comment out the dtoverlay=googlevoicehat-soundcard in config.txt, & add drivers only for the mics by following my guide here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=173640. You only need follow the steps in the first post there, no asound.rc twe...

I'm pretty sure it worked in that configuration when I first played with the Voice HAT & AIY (I'm now running it without any google hardware / Voice HAT drivers). If you're running headless, & you encounter any Bluetooth connectivity issues, you'll find it will revert to the Google hardware for outp...

All that's required is firstly to pair the speaker from the Bluetooth menu: left-click -> "Add Device", then right-click on the Speaker icon to selecting your BT speaker.

gregeric

Google's Voice HAT (ICS43432 mics + MAX98357 DAC) ignores the ICS43432 codec & employs its own machine & codec drivers.

Maybe you could use that as a template, but it would be nice to figure out how to use simple-audio-card & device tree in lieu.

Or leave unmodded & use pcmanbib's circuit on that 2xrelay board

If your original board is the same as this one , which it appears to be, then I suspect the reason your GPIO goes pop eventually is more likely because you're drawing too much current , not because somehow 5V is magically finding its way back to the GPIO. Looking closely at the picture, it looks lik...

500mAh spent over 30 hours is roughly 160mA average current draw.

You might acheive that with a Zero or A+.

Does your task need to be always-on? If not, an alternative would be to use a MoPower or WittyPi to automatically power on/off the Pi at suitable intervals, thus extending run time.

When I ask to play a trivia game, I can't get past "how many people want to play?" - I say a number and there it ends.

Why waste time and money pushing hardware with a small team, when the larger manufacturers can do it for you, unless it is cost effective (I don't know and not going to guess if it is.) Use an off the shelf GPU/SoC & the cloners will be very happy. Meanwhile, RPiF's revenue stream will suffer. So y...

What I don't understand is the obsession that it has to have VC4 and not a more generally available processor. A large number of the RPi engineers, software & hardware, are the same team who designed & refined the VC4. Why wouldn't they want to stick to what they know, when they can perhaps tweak i...

No, it means that if your circuit does not itself inject a clock into SCK, the PCM5102 will generate a SCK with a PLL from BCK.

BCK & LRCK are provided by the Pi's I2S peripheral when it is in master mode.

Sorry, I meant that the USB mic drivers will automatically load. In total, you need a working mic, sound output, button on GPIO 23, & helpful to have the LED on GPIO 23. Then go play.

gregeric

Any links or 'How To' guides ? I had searched but turned up empty. If it's a USB mic, I guess it will just work. If you obtain an I2S mic breakout, you can add such a mic using the instructions here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=173640 (You could just use the provided goo...

I answered jhewitt123 on twitter, but for the benefit of anyone else: The leftmost pad of the Drivers header is the raw GPIO - leave it alone. The centre pad is for the positive side of your load, so the anode of an LED with series resistor for example. The right hand pad, nearest the board edge, is...

gregeric

You don't need a compatible DAC/Amp either. I'm using ZeroW, Bluetooth speaker, and my hand-soldered ICS43432 mic.

So it seems any mic, & any sound output will suffice to play with it...

I will indeed test older hardware when this is done. I have a feeling it will not fare as well. I would expect little difference between hardware revisions. OTOH older firmwares/kernels may not fare so well - there have been bugfixes, & switches between the eMMC & sdhost peripherals used for SD acc...

I couldn't get it to autostart with the recommended systemd .service, although I had modified it to insert a delay while the system made my BT speaker become the current audio device. It seemed to loop, restarting, even after fixing that dependency warning. In the end, similarly to you, I modified /...

Already did that. If you ask "what time is it?", it will respond with time appropriate to your TZ.

Yet, asking it to set an alarm in + 5 mins, the confirmation is in UTC-7, and no alarm is set/nothing happens.

gregeric

If you ask "wake me in 1 minute", it acknowledges with a time set in UTC -7, likely California time. And, as you note, it fails to go off.

Maybe someone could work out a clever circuit that allowed the AIY hardware button to trigger a reset when system is not booted. There's the gpio-poweroff-overlay to throw a gpio pin to a known state on shutdown. You could tickle the RUN header if your circuit sees the chosen power-off-overlay pin ...
