David’s Status Report for 3/8

This last week I have worked on the board with Kemdi and also have looked into dockerization of the project, along with buying some new parts. Kemdi and I connected the peripherals to the board and first ran into some troubles with audio. The microphone was able to capture correctly but the speaker did not seem to work. We suspected it had something to do with the audio input and outputs, and we were able to figure it out although the speaker was very weak which led me to find a bigger one to purchase. We then tried to run the speech to text code on the Raspberry Pi 4, but there were a lot of errors. Although the code works fine on Kemdi’s computer, we believe that the raspberry Pi relies on certain native code which gives us errors when we tried to run it. There are two weird programs jackd and alsa. We are not sure how to continue on that front and have requested help from a TA. I then continued into researching how to create a docker container for our project as I was unfamiliar with it and our project requires it. We are still on schedule although we need to fix our board problem as soon as possible.
