Question 6

How to install Respeaker in raspberry pi?

Accepted Answer

Step 1. Please Make sure running the lastest Raspbian Operating System(debian 9) on Pi. (updated at 2018.11.13) Step 2. Get the seeed voice card source code.   sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade git clone https://github.com/respeaker/seeed-voicecard.git cd seeed-voicecard sudo ./install.sh reboot Step 3. Then select the headphone jack on Raspberry Pi for audio output:   sudo raspi-config # Select 7 Advanced Options # Select A4 Audio # Select 1 Force 3.5mm ('headphone') jack # Select Finish Step 4. Check that the sound card name looks like this:   pi@raspberrypi:~ $ arecord -L   If we want to change the alsa settings, we can use sudo alsactl --file=ac108_asound.state store to save it. And when we need to use the settings again, copy it to: sudo cp ~/seeed-voicecard/ac108_asound.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.state Step 5. Open Audacity and select AC108 & 4 channels as input and bcm2835 alsa: - (hw:0:0)as output to test:   $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install audacity $ audacity // run audacity   Step 6. Or we could record with arecord and play with aplay:   // only support 4 channels arecord -Dac108 -f S32_LE -r 16000 -c 4 hello.wav   // make sure default device // Audio will come out via audio jack of Raspberry Pi aplay hello.wav   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ References http://wiki.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker_4_Mic_Array_for_Raspberry_Pi/

Question 7

How to use a standard USB webcam

Accepted Answer

Install fswebcam   First, install the fswebcam package:   sudo apt-get install fswebcam   Add your user to video group If you are not using the default pi user account, you need to add your username to the video group, otherwise you will see 'permission denied' errors.   sudo usermod -a -G video    To check that the user has been added to the group correctly, use the groupscommand.   Basic usage   Enter the command fswebcam followed by a filename and a picture will be taken using the webcam, and saved to the filename specified:   fswebcam image.jpg   Specify resolution   The webcam used in this example has a resolution of 1280 x 720 so to specify the resolution I want the image to be taken at, use the -r flag:   fswebcam -r 1280x720 image2.jpg   Specify no banner   Now add the --no-banner flag:   fswebcam -r 1280x720 --no-banner image3.jpg   Bash script   You can write a Bash script which takes a picture with the webcam. The script below saves the images in the /home/pi/webcam directory, so create the webcam subdirectory first with:   mkdir webcam   To create a script, open up your editor of choice and write the following example code:   #!/bin/bash    DATE=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H%M")  fswebcam -r 1280x720 --no-banner /home/pi/webcam/$DATE.jpg   This script will take a picture and name the file with a timestamp. Say we saved it as webcam.sh, we would first make the file executable:   chmod +x webcam.sh   Then run with:   ./webcam.sh   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------   References https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/webcams/
