RPi Soundbox

This is made to assist in an easy setup of a Raspberry Pi into a little random sound player.

Requirements

• Raspberry Pi 3/4/0
• AIY Voice kit V1
• Raspbian or the AIY Voice Kit image
• Some OGG/WAV/MP3 files that you want to play
• Python 3.7
  • This may not be REQUIRED, but is what I wrote/tested the code with. Likely 3.6 or above would be fine too.

Usage Overview

1. Follow the base instructions for installing and configuring the AIY Voice Kit with your RPi
2. Compile and install Python 3.7 see Compile Python
3. Clone the repo into /opt/soundbox and enable systemd

   sudo git clone https://github.com/mriswithe/pi-soundbox.git /opt/soundbox
   sudo ln -s /opt/soundbox/soundbox.service /lib/systemd/system/soundbox.service
   sudo systemctl enable soundbox.service

4. Create a virtual environment and install requirements

   python3.7 -m venv /opt/soundbox/venv
   source /opt/soundbox/venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r /opt/soundbox/requirements.txt
   # Need to clone the aiyprojects repo to install it
   git clone https://github.com/google/aiyprojects-raspbian.git /tmp/aiyprojects
   pip install /tmp/aiyprojects/src/

5. Put sounds into the /opt/soundbox/sounds directory, use SCP or something
6. Restart the Raspberry Pi.
