This week was largely spent making the Raspberry pi work with our code. We were able to mitigate our largest problem we were facing, which was that we were not able to programmatically input or ouput audio through the Raspberry pi. This meant that even though we could test the code on our laptops, we couldn’t verify it on the device. However after a lot of time configuring, we were able to achieve just that.
A few changes were made to our desing, we intially planned to use a Raspberry pi5, but that was stolen and we were left with a Raspberry pi 4, we have decided to go back to using a Raspberry pi 5. The TTS models that allow for reasonable quality and clarity simply do not run fast enough on a Raspberry pi 4. Our than this there is unlikely to be any major chnages upcoming.
We are in a good position and we don’t for see any major challenges heading our way. The biggest risk right now is trying to integrate the entire system.
