ASB is a assistent inspired by mobile assistants such as Google Home, Siri, Alexa, and the integrated assistant device Jacquard.
It has similar functionality, with the exception of doing everything offline and being controlled by buttons on the strap of a backpack.
It uses python to manage everything, from the GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi, to the Text To Speech, to the music, to the tools inside.
As of now, it can
- Speak
- Play, pause, skip, and shuffle downloaded music
- Create timers
- Start stop, and read a stopwatch
- Start, stop, and switch sounds of a metronome
In the future I plan to add
- Navigation via openstreetmaps
- Sync calendar, todo and other information with a laptop or computer via Bluetooth
I will write a detailed instructions on how to install, configure the software, as well as creaet the simple circuitboards for the buttons, and maybe how to sew the custom backpack I sewed for the ASB
