A simple project design and build a case for a voice assistant remote - specifically a Seeed Studio Respeaker 2-mic hat, and the attached Raspberry Pi Zero.
The goal is for an end product that looks almost commercial (i.e. not just a loose PCB flopping around on my desk...), and that makes all of the Respeaker features available, including the input button, leds, etc. As we go I'll probably add some notes on setting up Rhasspy Voice Assistant, such as which guides to follow (and which to ignore), and some of the pitfalls I fell into.
I haven't uploaded 3D printable files yet, as I'm still waiting on a few parts, and I just know that when I do a fit check some design revisions will be required
I've just received my order of speaker grill fabric, so I can now show you a bit more of the intended design:
The goal was always to have the top of the case covered in speaker fabric, but the challenge was how to achieve this without making the assembly too fiddly. The design idea was to use a kind of clamping ring to hold the fabric stretched and in place, which so far works really well. Here's an idea of how assembly goes:
I still want to add a neopixel-style LED ring to the design, and I'm waiting on this to arrive at which point I can do more fit checks and design revisions and then upload a set of STL files, as well as detailed assembly instructions. Stay tuned!
