PART 1: BASIC SETUP (OFFLINE MODE)

This is what works without internet.

Step 1: Download and Install OS

# On your computer:
# 1. Go to [Link]/software
# 2. Download Raspberry Pi Imager
# 3. Install it

# Steps to create bootable SD card:

# 1. Insert micro SD card via USB reader
# 2. Open Raspberry Pi Imager
# 3. Select:
# - OS: Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64-bit
# - Storage: Your SD card
# 4. Click WRITE
# 5. Wait 5 minutes
# 6. Eject safely

Step 2: First Boot Setup

# After first boot (green LED blinks for 2 minutes):
# Connect monitor, keyboard, mouse

# You'll see login prompt:

# Username: pi
# Password: raspberry

# First commands:
sudo raspi-config

# In raspi-config menu:
# 1. Interfacing Options → SSH → Enable
# 2. Interfacing Options → Bluetooth → Enable
# 3. Localization Options → Timezone → Asia/Kolkata
# 4. Finish and Reboot

Step 3: Install All Required Software

# Update system
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y

# Install Python and pip

sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev -y
sudo apt install portaudio19-dev -y
sudo apt install libasound2-dev -y

# Install audio tools

sudo apt install alsa-utils -y
sudo apt install mpv -y

# Install Python libraries for voice and AI

pip3 install SpeechRecognition
pip3 install pyttsx3
pip3 install numpy
pip3 install pyaudio
pip3 install --upgrade pip

# Install Whisper (speech recognition)

pip3 install openai-whisper

# Download small model (base) - takes 5 min

whisper --model base

# Install text-to-speech
pip3 install piper-tts

# Download Piper voices (Hindi + English)

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/piper-tts
# Voices will auto-download on first use

Step 4: Configure Audio

# Check microphones
arecord -l

# Output should show ReSpeaker 2-Mics

# Check speakers
aplay -l

# Test microphone recording

arecord -D default -f cd -t wav [Link]

# Record for 3 seconds, then Ctrl+C

# Test playback
aplay [Link]

# Adjust volume
alsamixer
# Use arrow keys to adjust levels

PART 2: MULTIPLE SPEAKERS SUPPORT

How to switch between different Bluetooth speakers without code changes.

Understanding Bluetooth Pairing

CONCEPT:
─────────

Your Raspberry Pi can PAIR with multiple Bluetooth speakers

Just like your phone can pair with many speakers

Pairing = Remembering device address

Connection = Currently using this device

Example:
├─ Pair with JBL → Address: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF (Saved)
├─ Pair with Boat → Address: 11:22:33:44:55:66 (Saved)
├─ Pair with Philips → Address: 99:88:77:66:55:44 (Saved)
└─ When you want to use Boat, just CONNECT to it

Step 4: Run Flask Server

# Run the Flask server
python3 ~/flask_server.py

# Access from phone/browser:

# [Link]

# To find your Pi's IP:

hostname -I

Step 5: Make Flask Auto-Start

# Create systemd service for Flask
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/[Link]

[Unit]
Description=Smart Speaker Web Dashboard
After=[Link]

[Service]
Type=simple
User=pi
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi

[Install]
WantedBy=[Link]

sudo systemctl enable [Link]

sudo systemctl start [Link]

PART 4: ONLINE FEATURES (SPOTIFY,

NEWS, WEATHER)
Add internet-based features while maintaining offline capability.

Step 1: Get Free API Keys

Spotify API

1. Go to [Link]/dashboard
2. Create an app: "My Smart Speaker"
3. Accept terms
4. Get Client ID and Client Secret
5. Save in a file: ~/.spotify_creds.txt
client_id=YOUR_ID
client_secret=YOUR_SECRET

News API

1. Go to [Link]
2. Sign up free
3. Get API key
4. Save in ~/.news_api_key.txt
 Weather API

1. Go to [Link]
2. Sign up free
3. Get API key
4. Save in ~/.weather_api_key.txt

Step 2: Install Online Libraries

pip3 install spotipy
pip3 install requests
pip3 install youtube-search-python

TROUBLESHOOTING
Common Issues & Solutions
Issue: Microphone not working

# Check microphones
arecord -l

# If ReSpeaker not showing:

sudo raspi-config
# Interfacing Options → Serial → Enable

# Check ReSpeaker connection:

# Ensure HAT is properly seated on all 40 pins

Issue: Speech recognition errors

# Test with specific audio device

python3 << 'EOF'
import speech_recognition as sr
rec = [Link]()
with [Link](device_index=2) as source: # Try different indices
rec.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)
audio = [Link](source)
try:
text = rec.recognize_google(audio)
print(f"Recognized: {text}")
except:
print("Recognition failed")
EOF

Issue: Bluetooth speaker won't connect

# Restart Bluetooth service

sudo systemctl restart bluetooth

# Pair from terminal

bluetoothctl
> scan on
> pair AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
> connect AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
> exit
 Issue: Web dashboard not accessible

# Check Flask is running

sudo systemctl status [Link]

# Check port is open

sudo netstat -tlnp | grep 5000

# Check firewall
sudo ufw allow 5000

# Restart Flask
sudo systemctl restart [Link]

Issue: API rate limits

# Add delays between API calls

import time

[Link](1) # Wait 1 second

play_spotify_song("song")

[Link](1) # Wait before next call

get_news()

Issue: Device runs out of memory

# Check memory usage

free -h

# Clear cache
sudo sync && echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

# Disable unnecessary services

sudo systemctl disable bluetooth # If not needed

# 4. Test speaker switching

# Say: "Switch to Boat speaker"

# 5. Check system health

df -h # Disk space
free -h # Memory
vcgencmd measure_temp # Temperature
