In this tutorial, we assume that the UlnoIoT Raspberry Pi gateway has bin successfully set up, and program our first microcontroller as an UlnoIoT node. We will learn how to switch its on board led through a network connection. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-8kGxI_7Vo

As you see I am fascinated by voice assistants, but I don't like them sending things into the cloud. Do I really want Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft listen and analyze every word I say in my private four walls? How about voice assistants in an industrial setting - is it OK there to send everything to an external cloud provider? Not sure that such solutions will be easy to sell. And what happens when the Internet is down? As excited as I initially was with Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai), I was a little disappointed to find out that they use (their own) third party cloud service to do speech to text. However, Mycroft is open source, so it allows me to exchange this service. After discovering Rhasspy (http://rhasspy.org, https://github.com/rhasspy/rhasspy-voltron, a system especially focusing on offline voice assistance). I still like Mycroft and its community a lot, so what to do? Hey, I am a software engineer, I thought: "I can glue systems together that don't have explicit interfaces for each other". So, let's use Node-RED (https://nodered.org) as glue! Follow along in this mini-series. The series has 3 parts and in this third part, we will integrate Mycroft and Rhasspy with Node-RED to achieve the actually privacy aware voice assistant: 1. Installation Mycroft: https://youtu.be/-fYOf4WBvzk 2. Installation Rhasspy: https://youtu.be/xKgPrn8ukcM 3.

This was a pretty spontaneous production inspired by a big clean-up operation by our special camera guy and editor Sylvio from Granmidia (https://www.instagram.com/granmidia.produtora/). He found lots of headphones used for studio production and thought we could give it a spin and maybe a funny twist here in the IoTempire (https://iotempire.net). I threw in a couple of my own as well as a little surprise, and we were ready to shoot. Unfortunately, it got a little longer than expected, but we think there are still lots of funny moments to explore - I also compiled a lot of timelinks for relevant content, so feel free to read on and jump over lengthy parts. Let us know what you think of this format in the comments. If you want more like this, please encourage us (and also suggest which type of devices you would like to see) below in the comments. We tested the following headphones (pre-fixed by the actual times where we test them and also listing their time of the test result as well as its final rank), the summary is at 23:57: - 02:03 Sennheiser HD650 (result: 05:07, rank: 2) - link: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-650-Professional-Headphone/dp/B00018MSNI - 06:42 Sony MDR 1A (result: 08:33, rank: rank 4) - link: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-1A-Headphone-International-Warranty/dp/B00NW353KE - 10:52 Sennheiser Momentum (result: 13:41, rank: 3) - link: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Momentum-Headphone-Brown/dp/B009QV15DU - 15:47 Sony MDR 75 06 (result: 18:16, rank: 1) - link: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR7506-Professional-Diaphragm-Headphone/dp/B000AJIF4E - 20:00 Plantronics Voyager Focus (result: 22:28, rank: W3) - link: https://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-Voyager-Bluetooth-202652-01-Cancelling/dp/B013F4LJTI - 24:08 Kokoon (result: 26:28, rank: W1, only one, I could sleep in) - link: https://kokoon.io/ - 28:18 Sennheiser Momentum Wireless (result: 30:35, rank: W2) - link: https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-True-Wireless-Bluetooth-Fingertip/dp/B07J2WF2JW - 36:12 Surprise - 3M Peltor X (result: 32:26, rank: awesome in its own realm) - link: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Peltor-Over-Earmuffs-X5A/dp/B00CPCHBCQ The links are not affilate links (we need more subscribers and viewers to support us - spread the word!), so feel free to google for the products also on your own and check on ebay or other seller sites.
