Nice.

An unboxing, de-boxing, then re-boxing, all the boxes covered!

All boxes checked✔

u just broke the matrix fam

Box ception

I understand that these ship from Pimoroni and others at the very end of October. I've just uploaded a follow-up video (that releases this Sunday) where I try out Google Cloud Speech, and get that controlling LEDs connected via GPIO pins added to the Voice Hat. As you say, a lot of hacking -- and learning -- potential here.

Awesome, I'll be tuned in on Sunday to check that out! Thanks for the response, love your channel!

:)

:)

The price of it has dropped to $10 USD since the version 2 came out.

Enjoy your kits! :)

Yes, it is one of the best things I have connected to a Raspberry Pi.

"And there we are. I'm having my first ever conversation, with a cardboard box." Love the subtle wit!

and it is probably smarter than some of the people i`ve had conversations with.

doesnt he mean that this is the first time the cardboard box has talked back...lol

10:30 searching for google assistant. Typed in: "google ass". Laughed my head off.

put six hearts and paint it matte grey and white and you'll have a companion cube

@ExplainingComputers / Christopher, Please, what ever you do be extremely careful what you say around this device, nobody wants to see you being convicted for "perceived hate crime".;-)

Do you agree to Google service, "of course I do" replied Christopher cheerfully (whilst actually ignoring to fully read the terms of service agreement). Christopher, you are one very, very brave individual. Also, when you stated that "it is great to access it from our favourite single board computer", why did I get a shiver going down my spine?

Me too I'm like. .. that's amazing must get one to most of this new stuff... but todays kids are like that's too much work and you can get the echo. I think there main customers must be all in there 40s lol

mCKENIC Google aiy in this kit form is nothing compared to what's inside your cell phone. You need to spend more time on KZfaq because as your brother of seventies technology paranoia warnings that we've been given you'd be amazed to find out what satellite abilities are up there already that are part of the public knowledge base and not top secret. Lasers that can see vibrations translated into extremely clear sound. Sound and vibration satellites that pick up human movement and can identify one human from another by the sound and patterns of their footsteps several stories below. Go check out Kickstarter and you'll be shocked and amazed at some of the Technologies that are being produced by creative, consumer aiming people in their basements. Living at Cape Canaveral I watch a lot of lunches and read payload notes. Every single thing we were paranoid about already exists. with the exception of the robot uprisings and colonization of Mars.

mCKENIC if you have an Android device it's the same thing as Siri go ahead and use it today right now it's a fun and interesting toy

:)

Thanks.

I will be going this.

:)

:)

Excellent!

So true!

And a lot easier to configure and run than the Alexa Pi project! :)

Yes, as you say --- a good 3D printing project here! :)

:)

Probably . . .

I think that should be possible if you can run the Google Home app on something and adjust the settings.

I want one that yells at me in a cockney accent and "tews me tago foind it mesewf". (My cockney still needs work.)

Given the Pi is a British computer, hopefully someone at Google has thought of that. ;)

U want a buttler mr Wayne

I have now uploaded a video that progresses to GPIO voic control: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j56aoql8l7Wcdac.html

Many retailers will have stock at the end of October (2017). It may not last long though . . .

Thanks. :)

I think you got a good deal there! :) I too have heard, from multiple sources, that there will be supplies of this kit with many retailers in about two weeks (end of October 2017).

As I understand it, there is stock arriving at the £25 price in a lot of stores in late October 2017 (links in video description). But a pre-order will be wise. These will sell out (again) quickly . . . it is a very nice kit.

I've pre-ordered one. :)

Most retailers expect stock in late October -- though it is possible that enough people have now pre-ordered to use up the anticipated stock. This video has probably not helped the situation! :)

YES!

Ah! I thought it was supposed to hold the Pi down. I must try this! :)

Yes, you can do that. There is a solder pad to solder across to set stereo output if you add another speaker as you describe.

You must be really ignorant. If you ever checked Google's privacy report you'd know Google's Home and Assistant devices aren't sending your every word to servers. They only send a few-second-long audio clip, the microphone is disabled and it will wait for you to say the wake word. Get a life and do your research before writing something stupid like this.

Excellent. And I am making another video about this kit this week! :)
