In particular, the following APIs will be of interest for use with your Voice Kit:ĪPIs that simplify interaction with the Google Cloud Speech-to-Text service.Īn API that performs text-to-speech (reads some text aloud).ĪPIs to use the button that’s attached to the Voice Bonnet’s button connector. To learn more about these APIs, refer to the API reference. Just be sure that you've installed the latest system image. These APIs are built into a Python package named aiy, which is pre-installed in the kit's system image. It makes it easy to interact with services like Google Assistant and Cloud Speech-to-Text, and to use kit peripherals such as the button, LEDs, and extra GPIO pins. To support various features in the Voice Kit, we've built a Python library that handles a lot of programming dirty work for you. You can then use a keyboard/mouse combo that requires only one USB port.Īdapter option B: Micro USB Hub that provides multiple USB ports to connect to any traditional keyboard and mouse. Below are two different options.Īdapter option A: USB On-the-go (OTG) adapter cable to convert the Raspberry Pi USB micro port to a normal-sized USB port. Adapter to attach your mouse and keyboard to the kit.Normal-sized HDMI cable and mini HDMI adapter.

Option 2: Use a monitor, mouse, and keyboardĬhoose this option if you don’t have access to an Android smartphone. Option 1: Use the AIY Projects appĬhoose this option if you have access to an Android smartphone and a separate computer. It will not be able to provide enough power and it may corrupt the SD card, causing boot failures or other errors.īelow are two different options to connect to your kit to Wi-Fi, so that you can communicate with it wirelessly.

Don't try to power your Raspberry Pi from your computer. The second-best choice is to use a phone charger that also provides 2.1A of power (sometimes called a fast charger). Micro USB power supply: The best option is to use a USB Power supply that can provide 2.1 Amps of power via micro-USB B connector.2mm flat screwdriver: For tightening the screw terminals.You’ll need some additional things, not included with your kit, to build it:
