Help and Troubleshooting
#1

Hi there,

as i read that google assist is running i want give it a try.

But when starting compiling it fails right after seconds with following error.

make -C /lib/modules/4.14.30-v7+/build M=/home/pi/matrixio-kernel-modules modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.30-v7+'

Did i miss something?

It is a fresh setup and i followed this guide:

Im having the exact same issue - yet a week ago the install worked for some reason - im assuming they have made code changes which have broken it - i guess we just wait and see now for it to be fixed…

Hi @I-Zen-Robotics and @TuxTux,

Thanks for reporting this issue. The implementation was not compatible with the latest kernel version 4.14.30-v7+. We just did the update and should be good to go.
Please, update your matrixio-kernel-modules repo and buld it again to test.

cd matrixio-kernel-modules/
git pull
make && make install

further update:
it is now installing - i did just notice an update to the github since i posted the error - appears as though - cutting edge is really cutting edge currently
– ok onward and hopefully upward we go

arecord: main:788: audio open error: No such file or directory

same place as i have been before - and if i do manage to recor4d anything it is all just a hammering noise — this is getting very very frustrating - and im beginnning to think i have a faulty board — trying to get ANYTHING working fully on it has proven unsuccesful to date – over a week of trying :frowning: :thinking::face_with_raised_eyebrow::frowning_face::disappointed:

Hey @I-Zen-Robotics,

Thanks for keep trying. Can you open a new post so we can close this one?
Let’s try to troubleshoot your issues in the new post. If you want to test the mics you can try the guide Hardware Test: Microphones 🎤 and let us know the result in the new post .

Thank you,

Hi @I-Zen-Robotics,

i got the same error in the beginning.
I used the lite raspbian image from 03.2018

After that I did a update and upgrade.

Then I add the matrix repo and installed the matrix stuff followed by the kernel headers. After that was completed I cloned the repository and copied the arsoundrc file. Now I did a reboot and trying to do the record and play .

If this is not working for you I can make a image for you and upload it.

Let me know if you need it or not.

Hey, happy to hear that, so i do not need to upload. :slight_smile:

Alexa is working the way, but if you install the alexa app on your mobile you can add skills to alexa.

Playing musik on Google Assist is not possible by the sdk and on alexa only tunein radio is working.

But all these restrictions are by the sdk’s and not by the matrix creator or voice.

Have fun :slight_smile:

:beers:
