No Picard gifs today. I’ll have a double dose next time. Might even add a Sisko gif

Is the microphone a HAT or a PCB. Blog says HAT but I don’t think it meets the requirements.

Will take sleeping bag to local Tesco later :)

Looks like an awesome project

What a great idea for including in a magazine. Everything you need to make your Raspberry Pi voice activated.

Is the lack of animated GIF to avoid the inevitable flame war between HAL and Enterprise fans ;-) ?

Wow cool. I wonder if it’ll fit in my post box? I’m sure postie will make it fit ;-)

Excited now! Roll on Friday….

Is it hitting the shops today or is it out tomorrow?

Are the tech specs for the board listed somewhere.
Interested in the 6 Servo connection and 4 Driver connections.

Board looks like it can handle stereo audio if a second speaker is added.

This board looks amazing and fantastically capable.

I have mine.
Word of warning – it is in a big cardboard box (approx depth of 6 magazines) so shops might not put many on shelf. So if you cannot find it then ask in store.

I should really Subscribe…
Went daft that time looking for the Pi Zero issue here in NI, with no luck. So I just ordered one now :)

Yay, let’s all let Google’s servers listen in on the conversations in all homes. Sure worth it for Google to graciously offer the hardware to do that.

Looks great. But. Picture proof needed of tech company cliché “We’re extremely excited.”

I’ve picked up one of these but haven’t yet opened it. Does it work with the ‘old’ Raspberry Pi 1 Model B?

will this kit work with the pi2?

Will the German CHIP MagPi magazine be carrying the voice kit too?
Fingers crossed because I have a CHIP MagPi subscription…
(Ich drücke die Daumen – I press the thumbs..!)

Any chance just the kit will be for sale somewhere?

Where can I get in India??

Mine was missing the actual cardboard box, help?

Does it work with Pi 2 also where can i get the os files for the sd card

Wow! Just wow! Wonder does AIY speak French too?

Already camped out by my letter-box here in France waiting for the post-woman. Suspect she’ll get here tomorrow or Saturday =oD Just in time for AIY to help me through the French election suspense till Sunday evening…

Please check out my tutorial in the MagPi this month. It is Build A Race Game.

Wow, I really love this. I live in UK, is there a possibility to order it online ?

What stores/retailers have this issue in Canada, more specifically in Montreal?

any sales in USA?

As a subscriber in New Zealand, can I expect to get the kit too?
What happened to the May edition?
Thanks

Can this be used with the display and sense hat connected at the same time to the raspberry pi, apologies if this has been asked else where

Woah! Just saw this and now I _have_ to get my hands on a mag. The Foundation does it once more! However I thought they had promised on the Queen’s honour, never again to incite any more insurgencies at the newstands…

Question if I subscribe now do I get this number or does it start from the next one ?can’t find it in Calgary:/(Canada)

Are there any stores in USA other than B&N which carry this? Like Microcenter or others?

What Raspberry PI Zero GPIO pins are used for the Google voice assistant sound HAT

If there was some way to get this kit in India. ?

Try as I might I can not get the speaker to work. No sound is produced by the check_audio.py script. The sound is being output to the snd_rpi_googlevoicehat_soundcard according to the speaker icon in the top right.

Is there a way to check the HAT is working (sending audio to the speaker)?

I get a flashing green light on the hat by the connectors and the switch LED flashes too.

And they start to cash in. It’s sad when people do this. :-( I’ll not include the links but searching on eBay for google voice kit finds them @ around £70 mark.

I expect the seller does not care about the negative effect this could have on the project.

I’m at work and can’t wait to get home to mine, should be waiting for me when I get back. :-)

Is this kit works exactlt like google home, such that, it can connect to smart devices such as phillip hue, tp link smart switches? And can it also connect to its app such as samsung smartthings app, tp link kasa app, and so on to control the smart devices?

and Germany???

Called two B&Ns and both sold out. :-(

Where can I get in Brazil??
I’m student of Federal University of Juiz de Fora and we have a IEEE Student Branch.

B&N in my area were only getting 4-10 copies for each store. I got conflicting info on whether they will hold a copy for you. One store said they got them in but hadn’t unpacked the latest shipment so they could hold one. Two other stores were sold out already. One store had them and held the last copy for me until the store closed that day. So basically you have to keep calling until they have them on the shelf and then hope you’be timed it right to be one of the first callers after they’ve unpacked them from their shipment.

Microcenter was more cryptic saying they’d “have very limited stock released sometime over the next few weeks”

Just waiting for ThePiHut to get new kit !
Great ideo !
I can’t wait any more :D

Hi I used the box and the .json did not pop up so we are having technical difficulties and my box works in the test but doesn’t work normally.

I went to a Barnes and Noble in Nebraska (USA) and there were none on the shelf. I was looking at other magazines when an employee brought out boxes of magazines to put on display. I asked if she had “The MagPi” and she said only two. I snatched them both up. Right place at the right time I guess.

so annoyed at raspberry pi and magpi for such low stock on this mag…. We could not find one ANYWHERE and can’t get one online either… Things like this can kill a mag please resolve this issue.. You had to have expected that just THIS issue of the mag alone would have be MASSIVELY popular and there will be MANY greedy folks buying them up for themselves or to sell on ebay at a HUGE profite…. SO DISAPPOINTED in MagPi so so disappointed…

We won’t, no. There’s some more stock going to The Pi Hut soon so keep an eye there, and you can sign up to find out when Google starts selling them on their own here: magpi.cc/AIYMailingList

This the magazine with the kit or just the Kit???

I was fortunate that someone didn’t pick up the copy they reserved at a local B&N.

Now about the statement inside that says:
“Prohibited…chemical, nuclear, biological, aircraft, missile and similar military applications.”

That’s stifling my imagination.
It probably wouldn’t have been able to work anyway with all the alarm klaxons sounding when I ask “OK Google. How to I stop a runaway neutron reaction?”

@@

I didn’t have time to play with the Google Voice, but I did put it together on a Raspberry Pi and got pianobar playing from the speaker. It sounds better than PC speakers in the audio jack, so there is a actual DAC on the HAT. Waiting to get some time in order to play with the unit and do the sample project.

Any info about the solder points? I want to add the DC barrel connector and another blue terminal block to add the right speaker channel and speaker. Anyone know where I can find another blue terminal block of the same size?

More documentation on the HAT is needed so we can hack this hardware.

Hi every one!!!

How i can buy the kit without the magazine?

Hmm, seems it doesn’t have voice activation? That’s not so cool…
