Do not remove fields, answer them, otherwise your bug will be reported as invalid and closed

How I did start SLC, with what arguments
./venv/bin/python3 main.py --debug=True --engine=rhasspy --hardware=respeakerCoreV2 --mqttServer=10.0.2.108 --mqttPort=1883 --mqttUsername=homefix --mqttPassword=Flash1 --clientId=corev2 --leds=12 --pattern=google --defaultState=on

Led device name

ReSpeaker Core V2 boot from sdcard...also tried with booting from mmc(using updated corev2 linux respeaker-debian-9-iot-flasher-20180801-4gb.img.xz and also used:respeaker-debian-9-iot-sd-20180801-4gb.img

The bug

Obviously not a bug I cannot find anyone else with this problem, Sure somthing i, not doing right.
The patterns work if i use "screen -S pixelring" and execute "python ~/pixel_ring/examples/respeaker_v2_pixel_ring.py" then "cntrl a-d" to exit screen then "./venv/bin/python3 main.py --debug=True --engine=rhasspy --hardware=respeakerCoreV2 --mqttServer=10.0.2.108 --mqttPort=1883 --mqttUsername=homefix --mqttPassword=Flash1 --clientId=corev2 --leds=12 --pattern=google --defaultState=on". The Lights Dance and Shine (with the interferance of the python script running at the same time messing up the google pattern)

If I skip the "python ~/pixel_ring/examples/respeaker_v2_pixel_ring.py" step.....No Lights

Debug output

This is with respeaker_v2_pixel_ring.py running in the background:................

NOTE: This is not my first attempt at this. I just cant get the light to work unless i Jump-Start with the pixelring python script.

To Reproduce
Followed the wiki answered all questions correctly

Engine: rhasspy
Path: Kept default also tried full path /home/respeaker/.config/rhasspy/profiles/en/profile.json
path to assistant: default also tried full path /home/respeaker/.config/HermesLedControl
Device: respeakerCoreV2
Pattern: google
DOA tried all options on different install retries
Forgot to mention: I have a circular mic array 6 and a mic array 6 v2 they both work flawlessly. Than you.

^C2023-03-28 02:33:30,086 [MainThread] - [INFO] - Shutting down Hermes Led Control

DivanX10 · 2023-04-05T03:14:04Z

I managed to start the LEDs through hermesledcontrol, but for some reason it works through debugging mode, and if you run it through the service, it doesn't work and there is clearly something with rights and with launching from a virtual environment. How to make LEDs work? Interestingly, if you run the python file to turn on the LEDs via the console and simultaneously access the column, the hermesledcontrol color effects will work. It's as if hermesledcontrol lacks permissions or access to spidev0.0 and `spidev0.1'. What are your thoughts on this? What are the possible solutions to the issue?

How do I start the LEDs?

There are 12 LEDs on the Raspeaker Core v2 board and they can be turned on. These LEDs are controlled via the files spidev0.0 and spidev0.1 which are located in `/dev'.

In order for the LEDs to turn on, you need to run them as root or via sudo, since there are two files spidev0.0 and spidev0.1 have a user:group root:spi

In order not to run the LEDs through root, but through the user respeaker, you can do the following

View User groups

groups respeaker

Add the user respeaker to the group spi and sudo

sudo useradd respeaker -G spi,sudo

Allow the 'respeaker` user to run python scripts with sudo without entering a password

Let's create our sudoers.d with the name respeaker

sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/respeaker

Let's add the user respeaker and indicate that only python scripts can be run without a password

respeaker  ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/python, /usr/bin/python2, /usr/bin/python3

Download python scripts for turning on LEDs

Now let's check the launch of the python script c sudo without input to turn on the LEDs

If we have Debian 11 installed and the python script needs to be run with python version 2, then we need to install python version 2 and we will run with python version 2

sudo apt install python

You can run the python version 2 script. The password will not be requested when entering sudo

sudo python /home/respeaker/led_wakeup.py

or

sudo python2 /home/respeaker/led_wakeup.py

Next, stop hermesledcontrol

sudo systemctl stop hermesledcontrol

Edit the file HermesLedControl.py

nano /home/respeaker/HermesLedControl/models/HermesLedControl.py

Add import subprocess and subprocess.call("sudo python2 /home/respeaker/leds/led_wakeup.py", shell=True)

Let's go to the HermesLedControl folder

cd /home/respeaker/HermesLedControl

Let's run it in debug mode

./venv/bin/python main.py --debug=True --engine=rhasspy --hardware=respeakerCoreV2 --mqttServer=localhost --mqttPort=1883 --clientId=respeakerv2 --leds=12 --pattern=google --pathToConfig=/home/respeaker/.config/rhasspy/profiles/ru/profile.json

And the LEDs light up. I can't understand why the LEDs don't light up without these manipulations and how can they be started normally?

For reference, I have compiled new images from debian 10 and 11 for raspeaker core v2, you can download here

DivanX10 · 2023-04-05T17:33:04Z

The solution to the problem has been found

I found the cause of the problem and understood why HermesLedControl could not control the LEDs. After I fixed it, HermesLedControl worked perfectly and the LEDs glow as they should. HermesLedControl cannot turn on the LEDs itself.

To turn on the LEDs, I used this template respeaker_v2_pixel_ring.py and the LEDs lit up and this pattern was the culprit that HermesLedControl could not control the LEDs. I discovered this purely by chance when I was creating several files with different effects to turn the LEDs on and off, and here I discovered that if I turn on the LEDs, HermesLedControl will be able to control the LEDs. I double-checked and my accidental detection confirmed it.

What needs to be done so that HermesLedControl can control ReSpeaker Core v2 LEDs?

Download the archive file leds_ring.zip

wget https://github.com/DivanX10/ReSpeaker-Core-v2-Rus/raw/main/files/leds_ring.zip

Unpack the archive file leds_ring.zip

unzip leds_ring.zip

Launch turn_on_leds.py you can use the command. Specify the path to the file

sudo /home/respeaker/leds_ring/python2 turn_on_leds.py

The LEDs should turn on for 3 seconds and go out.

In the HermesLedControl settings, we do not touch anything, we leave it as it is, even if you specify a different host and port in the rhasspy settings, all settings are pulled from rhasspy automatically thanks to this line of code

pathToConfig: "/home/respeaker/.config/rhasspy/profiles/ru/profile.json"

This is how the configuration' settings should look like.yml and they do not need to be changed, we do not prescribe anything there, except for pattern. You can specify:

pattern: "google"
pattern: "alexa"
pattern: "projectalice"
pattern: "kiboost"

engine: "rhasspy"
pathToConfig: "/home/respeaker/.config/rhasspy/profiles/ru/profile.json"
hardware: "respeakerCoreV2"
pattern: "google"
enableDoA: false

You can open configuration.yml like this

nano /home/respeaker/.config/HermesLedControl/configuration.yml

If you changed the pattern, then you definitely need to restart HermesLedControl

sudo systemctl restart hermesledcontrol

Running the script turn_on_leds.py turns on the LEDs and they will work until the OS is restarted, but once the OS is restarted, HermesLedControl will not be able to control the LEDs, so we will create an autoload of the python script turn_on_leds.py

Creating the ledsring.service

nano /etc/systemd/system/ledsring.service

Adding ledsring.service to the created file

[Unit]
Description=Leds Ring
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python2 /home/respeaker/leds_ring/turn_on_leds.py

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Restarting the daemon

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Activating the startup of the ledsring.service

sudo systemctl enable ledsring.service

Let's start the ledsring.service service

sudo systemctl start ledsring.service

For the test, we reboot the system and if everything is done correctly, then when accessing Rhasspy, the LEDs will start flashing

reboot

For reference

Created an assembly for ReSpeaker с Debian 11 + Rhasspy + HermesLedControl
I created a 3d model of the case for Raspeaker for a speaker with a phase inverter that amplifies the sound and creates a surround sound

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-07T13:07:10Z

What I don't get is that you use pixel_ring, which is apa102, what respeakerCoreV2 uses so basically it's the same

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-07T13:12:52Z

I think Respeaker Core v2 mraa uses gpio 12 to power instead of gpio 5. Can you check in interfaces\apa102.py, line 26 and change mraa.Gpio(5)to mraa.Gpio(12) and restart HLC

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-07T13:15:56Z

Another thing, in your logs, it shows

2023-03-28 02:33:22,839 [MainThread] - [INFO] - Device not using gpiozero or mraa, ignore power: name 'mraa' is not defined

where it should be using it... Try installing it with apt-get install python-mraa but it should be done by the respeaker installer

Thank you for responding. I tried to do as you said, but it didn't work out.

I have python-mraa installed и я использую mraa according to this instruction. If you enter the command `mraa-gpio list', the pins are displayed

where it should be using it... Try installing it with apt-get install python-mraa but it should be done by the respeaker installer

as I understood, the LEDs need to be turned on every time after a debian reboot. For some reason, if you turn on the LEDs through the pixel ring script, then HermesLedControl can control the LEDs

import time

from pixel_ring import pixel_ring
import mraa
import os

en = mraa.Gpio(12)
if os.geteuid() != 0 :
    time.sleep(0)
 
en.dir(mraa.DIR_OUT)
en.write(0)

pixel_ring.set_brightness(50)

if __name__ == '__main__':
	pixel_ring.on()
	time.sleep(3)
en.write(1)

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-07T20:04:23Z

What I can see from your logs is that: 2023-03-28 02:33:22,839 [MainThread] - [INFO] - Device not using gpiozero or mraa, ignore power: name 'mraa' is not defined which means power is ignored. So the interface doesn't write the leds as on in interfaces\Interface.pyon line 58 and/or 61

Now, it's not using "power" because apa102.py, on line 29 spits that log, which means mraa import failed, which means it's not accessible to python. Did you by any chances install mraa with sudo? Or install anything python related using sudo? If yes, that's the issue, never use sudo to install pip deps

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-07T20:14:45Z

After thinking a little, it might also be because HLC is running in a venv, the venv is created before python-mraa is installed, so it's not available for it...

DivanX10 · 2023-04-07T20:29:21Z

Or install anything python related using sudo?

Yes, I installed python-mraa via sudo as specified in documentation

sudo apt install -y python-mraa python-upm libmraa1 libupm1 mraa-tools

I will try to install python-mraa without sudo, and in interfaces\apa102.py, line 26 and change mraa.Gpio(5)to mraa.Gpio(12) and restart HLC and I will unsubscribe as I check

DivanX10 · 2023-04-07T23:59:43Z

It didn't help. I installed debian from 0, installed Rhasspy, HermesLedControl, python-mraa did not install from root, but did it through sudo, as a result I can run python examples/respeaker_v2_pixel_ring.py without sudo. Running the template python examples/respeaker_v2_pixel_ring.py the LEDs light up.

It is impossible to install apt install -y python-mraa without sudo, it does not give

In the file apa102.py, which is located /home/respeaker/HermesLedControl/interfaces/apa102.py, I specified in the line mara.Gpio(12)

Launched HermesLedControl, there is still "Device not using gpiozero or mraa, ignore power: name 'mraa' is not defined`"

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-08T05:42:03Z

you run pixel-ring from outside HLC venv, which gives it access to the global mraa package. HLC tries to load it but fails as it runs in its own virtual environment. The solution is simple, get HLC to be able to load mraa, in other words, make it available in HLC venv. Pixel-ring is just a wrapper around the apa102.py driver, and does the same HLC does. I'll try to find a solution to get mraa in you venv

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-08T05:56:02Z

Ok, I tried something...
https://github.com/project-alice-assistant/HermesLedControl/tree/fix-respeakerCoreV2

Installing mraa before venv creation and making the venv creation inherit from system packages to confirm my theory. You'll have to fresh install HLC to try it. It's not optimal as it forces pythn-mraa install for every users even those not needing it, but well, give it a shot.

If not working, do change the GPIO pin from 5 to 12 and try again

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-08T10:24:52Z

So, here 2 things for you to try:

First: 4240412

This tries to install python-mraa and then create the virtual-environement, with the global packages flag, which should take it with into HLC venv. I don't like it, because it forces everybody to install mraa which is only used by respeaker Core

Second:
0ae9cfd and
39c0d23

This doesn't install mraa on HLC install, but only when respeaker core v2 is selected. It is then copied from system packages into the venv itself before activating it. As I'm not home and don't have access to any debian os, I cannot confirm the copy command to work as I don't know if it's installed there

DivanX10 · 2023-04-08T16:17:11Z

It didn't work. I repeated the installation, put it from scratch and did everything as usual. I still can't get HLC to work with your method, and by running the script, the LEDs work. I even deleted pixel_ring as indicated by your command pip3 uninstall -y pixel_ring

Moved to the HermesLedControl folder

cd /home/respeaker/HermesLedControl

and started debugging

./venv/bin/python main.py --debug=True --engine=rhasspy --hardware=respeakerCoreV2 --mqttServer=localhost --mqttPort=1883 --clientId=respeakerv2 --leds=12 --pattern=google --pathToConfig=/home/respeaker/.config/rhasspy/profiles/ru/profile.json

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-08T16:38:25Z

Have you tried to copy python-mraa to the HLC venv?

DivanX10 · 2023-04-08T17:15:02Z

Have you tried to copy python-mraa to the HLC venv?

I couldn't stand it, I didn't understand what needed to be done. You can describe the detailed steps, I will repeat.

Perhaps you mean to install python-mraa python-upm libmraa1 libupm1 mraa-tools in a python virtual environment? I don't know how to work with the python virtual environment and I don't know how to work properly there.

Or maybe you mean move the pixel_ring folder to venv?

I don't know if this information will help you

It was found out experimentally that GPIOs will be available if you install the packages python-mraa python-upm libmraa1 libupm1 mraa-tools on debian 9, and if you put it on debian 10, GPIOs will be unavailable, so before upgrading to Debian 10 or 11, you must install the packages python-mraa python-upm libmraa1 libupm1 mraa-tools on debian 9 and as soon as GPIOs are active and they will be visible through the mraa-gpio list command, then you can safely upgrade to Debian 10 or 11. Rhasspy only works on Debian 10, you can install it on Debian 11, but then you need to rebuild the package because of the libgfortran5 package, since libgfortran4 is in the build, and libgfortran5 is needed. Therefore, in order for Rhasspy Debian to work, you need to upgrade to version 10 or 11. This is where the problem arises that for the LEDs to work, the packages python-mraa python-upm libmraa1 libupm1 mraa-tools must be installed on debian 9, and after upgrading to Debian 10 or 11, we install Rhasspy and HLC.

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-08T18:48:35Z

Check my second solution I gave earlier. Locate where python-mraa is installed and make a copy of it in your HLC venv

DivanX10 · 2023-04-09T01:54:21Z

I tried, this option does not work, I even copied to different places, tried with respeaker and root rights. There is no python-mraa folder, there are only files mraa.py, mraa.pyc, _mraa.arm-linux-gnueabihf.so

But this option worked, but on the condition that you need to run a python script to turn on the sudo python turn_on_leds.py , but it works until you reboot Debian

cd /home/respeaker/HermesLedControl
source ./venv/bin/activate
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/respeaker/pixel_ring.git
cd pixel_ring
pip install setuptools-scm
pip install -U -e .
cd
cd leds_ring/
sudo python turn_on_leds.py

File apa102.py which is located /home/respeaker/HermesLedControl/interfaces/apa102.py, no need to edit, works with mara.Gpio(5)

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-09T06:23:26Z

Ok, so if you have mraa.py in your HLC venv, HLC should not make an error or tell you the device is not using mraa anymore when starting?

DivanX10 · 2023-04-09T15:45:39Z

There are errors about mraa, but the LEDs work

Psychokiller1888 · 2023-04-09T16:13:10Z

I'll get a respeaker core v2 back and will try. The solution is simple, have mraa in your HLC venv. I don't have any devices that use mraa, can't check now

DivanX10 · 2023-04-09T22:01:34Z

Where will I get ready-made python-mraa? I use the one offered by respeaker, and installing python-mraa from respeaker, it is not in HLC venv.

Link to respeaker repositories, from where this python-mraa is put
http://respeaker.seeed.io/deb/dists/stretch/
