Augusto Monteiro 'Sparky 28d15e2918 #478 - Adding toggle button on wifisetup 2017-04-13 20:04:08 -05:00
penrods 23c445a904 This fixes several issues related to wake-up words and audio recording, including #595.
* The wake up sound is now played synchronously, thus not included in the recorded audio
* The minimum recorded phrase must be at least 0.5 seconds (instead of 0.1), and must be continuously quiet for that duration
* The silence threshold is reset every time we begin listening for a wakeword
* The silence threshold adjusts upward to just above the ambient sound while waiting for the wake-word
* Reformatted some comments to use Google-style docstrings, and added more comments

2017-04-13 12:48:38 -07:00
penrods a2053712ee More CLI fixes/enhancements for #648
* Added log filtering commands to the CLI.  So you can do things within the CLI like:
   :filter DEBUG  (filters out any lines containing "DEBUG")
   :filter remove DEBUG (stop filtering "DEBUG")
   :filter "not this" (filters out any log lines containing "not this")
   :filter list (displays active filters)
   :filter clear (removes all filters)
* Added a ~/.mycroft-cli.conf configuration file.  It currently contains the last-used filters.
* The mycroft.sh scripts were firing up the "fancy" CLI in the background and logging it constantly.  This resulted in huge log files because of the constantly updated microphone level indicator.

penrods 16c9fa9f83 Several command line interface (CLI) improvements:

* Redesigned the section title to combine the header and underscore lines into a single line to save screen space
* Recolored several screen elements to make more sense.  The query and the chat history now retain the cyan color, etc.
* The screen fully refreshes periodically, cleaning up garbage that might have accumulated from outside text being written to the terminal
* The mic meter no longer wraps around the screen when level numbers are too long

penrods cfa79e03a2 Fixes issue #539
The utterance is now placed on the bus along with its language code.  If not specified, it uses "en-us".

Added a new mycroft.util.parse module.  It contains the normalize() function.  Normalization currently does two things:
  * Expands contractions ("they're" -> "they are", etc)
  * Optionally removes articles ("a", "an", "the").  Removing is the default.
  * Textual numbers become digits, up to 20.  E.g. "What is the weather in four days" becomes "What is weather in 4 days".

NOTE:  This is potentially a breaking change!  Remove "the", "a" and "an" from your .voc files!

Skill changes:
  * I cleaned up the .voc files for the default Skills.
  * Split the date_time keyword into an extra entity.  Now a "QueryKeyword.voc" exists, with "what|tell" instead of combing that into "what is time" in the TimeKeyword.voc.
  * Volume skill now accepts 1-11, e.g. "turn volume to 11"

penrods bc9956cd68 Fixing sloppy copy/paste errors. 2017-03-10 16:23:00 -06:00
penrods 9fce7d4620 This implements CLI enhancements per issue #547
Main CLI enhancements:
* Microphone meter
* Long log line left/right scrolling
* Eliminated flicker
* VT100 ESC key code support (used by some terms)

In addition, to achieve the meter it was necessary to implement a mechanism for local Inter Process Communication (IPC).  This is achieved using the file-system.  By default a folder structure is created under /tmp/mycroft/ipc, but it can be directed to somewhere else by setting the config value in mycroft.conf:
    "ipc_path" : "/path/to/somewhere"
In the future, Mark 1 and Picroft will get RAM disks to avoid burning out the SD card.  This is also a very fast communication mechanism.  This is all hidden under util.get_ipc_directory()

Further, the named signal mechanism was changed to use the IPC folder.  The signal can have a lifetime now (not just one shot).

penrods e47e38c92c Fixes issue #528
Max recording time is now 10 seconds instead of 30.  This deals with cases where a noisy background prevents the listener's silence detection from triggering.  30 seconds was WAAY too long to keep listening -- nobody is going to be saying something that long for now.

penrods 5f8775883a Refining new "listening" sound mechanism
This adds several refinements to the listening sound mechanism added by:
* Added a default sound file
* Allowing various ways to override "resource files" for customization
* Moved the sound configuration path from "confirm_ding" to
  "sounds" > "start_listening"
* Also added "sounds" > "end_listening" configuration for the future

This submission adds the new mycroft.util.resolve_resource_file(res_name)
method.  This method takes a name such as "snd/start_listening.wav" and
looks (in order):
* For an absolute path <res_name>
* For ~/.mycroft/<res_name>
* For /opt/mycroft/<res_name>
* For mycroft/res/<res_name> within the source package

Steve Penrod b64c4ecfe6 Fixes issue #466 (#467)
This is a bit of a hack for Picroft.  The analog audio on a Pi blocks
for 30 seconds fairly often, so we don't want to break on periods
(decreasing the chance of encountering the block).  But we will
keep the split for non-Picroft installs since it give user feedback
faster on longer phrases.

* Fixes issue #434.  Developers working on both Cerberus and Home during the transition would have to re-pair.

Also bumping enclosure client version.

* Correcting error from when Tarturus code was merged.  At startup it was calling Enclosure.system_reset(), which rebooted the Arduino, instead of implementing Enclosure.reset(), which sets the UI to a "ready for input" state.

While in here, I also added docstrings for all Enclosure API methods.

* Increment Arduino code version

* Adding a call to reset the face UI when the enclosure service starts up.  This is needed because the enclosure.reset that is posted by the speech service on the messagebus sometimes occurs before the enclosure client is up and listening for it -- especially if there is a Arduino firmware upgrade.

In the future, we may want to consider a core service roll-call that gets triggered whenever any of the core services come up.

* Update dev_setup.sh

Steve Penrod 5e27364ca1 Added auto-detect to the enclosure.py. It will check for a
'platform' variable in 'enclosure' section, and if not found
the auto-detect will kick off.  The mechanism used is issuing
a serial 'system.ping' and listening for the Mycroft Mark 1
Arduino to respond.  This is a one-time event, since the
results get saved.

If the system is not a Mycroft Mark 1, it shuts itself down
so the enclosure message bus messages are simply ignored
on a generic Pi.
2016-11-04 13:48:18 -05:00
Steve Penrod f08bbe5902 Refined the reset mechanism on boot. Now there is a single Enclosure API
system_reset() that means the Enclosure appearance should be reset to
its defaults.  The implementation of this is now a reset of both the
mouth and the eyes.  This command gets sent to the Enclosure once the
speech client has fully opened its connection to the messagebus.
2016-11-03 16:18:08 -05:00
Steve Penrod b8c197f574 Added code to auto-detect the 'platform' the enclosure is running
under.  For now, only the 'mycroft-mark-1' is auto-detected by
attempting to send out a 'ping' over the serial line.  The
auto-detect results are saved as a 'platform' in the
configuration file.

Since the current enclosure is designed to only work with Mark 1,
we shutdown the client in all other platform cases.
2016-11-02 17:00:45 -05:00
Steve Penrod e251a1c625 Switched to using the EnclosureAPI instead of writting directly to the
serial port.  This is a stopgap, as potentially this message is sent
before the enclosure is fully active and listening.

Steve f0386264a3 Wifi setup usability (#370)
* Enhancing the Wifi setup process:
* When no intenet is detected, Mycroft now instructs user
  to connect cable or tells how to start wifi setup
* Wifi setup talks user through connection process
* Setup will auto-shutdown after 5 minutes
* Completion screen now goes to cerberus.mycroft.ai to
  allow registration immediately
  (TODO: custom url/landing page to that will already have the pairing code)

* Changing the wording of the prompt message and slowing down the
rate at which the password is spoken.

* fixed pep8 error

* fixed mroe pep8 in listener.py

*     -webkit-user-select: text;

* * Fixed iOS issues with password input
* Added SSID wrapping for unusually long network names
* Fixed need for left/right scrolling on small phone screens (e.g. iPhone 4/5)
* iOS devices now automatically open the screen after connecting to the MYCROFT network
* Tweaked Wifi setup instruction wording to make it easier to understand
* Fixed a potential bug with the flag used to stop the connection monitor

* Removed some temporary debugging code being used to track a very
specific issue with odd network names.

* Various small changes for the code review.  Mainly deleting some dead
code and comment changes.

* Made the "not connected" message more Mimic-friendly by using the word
'browse' instead of 'login'.

* Increased the size of the password characters.  They felt tiny at 13px on
previously on an iPad.

* - Added an auto-check for unit connection during the first 20 seconds when
  a unit is turned on.  If no connection to the internet is found, the user
  is told how to get connected.
- Added calls to 'ping' to help rebuild the ARP table we previously cleared
  in the test for lost connection
- Tweaked some terminology spoken to be more Mimic-friendly and understandable.
- Added automatic announcements every 45 seconds of the next step in the
  process.
- Added automatic shutdown after 5 minutes
- Added announcement when the process is complete
- Added documentation and comments throughout
- Made things more "pythonic".  Switched functions from camelCase to
  python_style_names.  Also used some underscore prefixes for private methods
  that are really just implementation helpers.

* - The initial check for internet connectivity now happens 5 seconds after the system comes up instead of 20.
- Also added a space to tweak the pronunciation of an announcement

* Changes to the wifi setup portal
- Added a Cancel Setup button (shuts down the process)
- The Register Me button only appears once the browser can
  reach cerberus.mycroft.ai.  This prevents following the
  link while phone is still connected to the temporary
  access point or not connected back to the real network.

* Update version.txt

Steve cac955fa64 Feature button behavior (#365)
* Several changes related to button pressing on the Mycroft unit:
- Pressing the button when it isn't listening starts it listening
- Pressing the button when listening will stop the listen
- Added a mycroft.util.signal() mechanism for out-of-thread communication
- Pressing the button now creates an "buttonPress" signal from the Enclosure
- The viseme playback and aplay check for the 'buttonPress' signal to abort
- Removed "Sorry I didn't catch that", irritating during false activations

* Fixed spacing that pep8 yelled about

* Fixed audio accuracy test for new LocalRecognizer constructor

* Added support for spaces in wake word config
In the phonemes a new word is indicated by a period character. The separating of the words actually changes the way pocketsphinx interprets the sound of it and in this case improves it

Jonathan D'Orleans b9a34a03b5 Issues 14 - Listener Improvements
1. To prevent many of the listener "dead state" (avoiding unwanted exceptions to break the loop)
2. Wake up must work for both "mycroft wake up" and "wake up mycroft"
3. To ensure "mycroft" keyword is always detected when it exists
4. To rely on "mycroft" instead of "hey mycroft"
5. To process "ok", "okay" and "allright" as part of the wake word detection
Some of the possible test cases:

1. wake up mycroft with: "mycroft wake up" and "wake up mycroft"
- it must wake up no matter the position of the "wake up" keyword
- it must always say it's awake at the first time (before, it'd only say it the second time you try to wake up)

2. try "okay mycroft, what's the weather in lawrence" and similar requests with "alright"
- this ensures we ignore "okay" and "alright" on the sentence

3. "mycroft" keyword should be detected as much as possible even if the sentence does not trigger a real skill/action
- that means the wake word detection is working

4. try all of those from close distance to the unit
- this ensures the changes are working

5. try all of those from a far distance to the unit
- to test the auto gain mic (for those who have one)

Arron Atchison 6e42bb1736 In the 1970s computer users had to understand the arcane syntax of the machines they used. They programed their computers using the machine's native language and hardly gave it a thought.
The 1980s birthed a new form of interaction between computers and users.  For the first time computers became capable of understanding the most basic form of human communication - pointing and grunting.  The mouse and the GUI revolutionized computing and made computers accessible to the masses.

We have now entered a third era.  We are rapidly approaching a time when computer systems will understand human language and respond using the most natural form of human communication – speech.

This is an important development.  Some might even call it revolutionary.

Despite its importance, however, the technologies that will underpin this new method of interaction are the property of major tech firms who don't necessarily have the public's best interests at heart.

Not anymore.

Meet Mycroft – the worlds first open source natural language platform.  Mycroft understands human language and responds with speech.  It is being designed to run on anything from a phone to an automobile and will change the way we interact with open source technologies in profound ways.

Our goal here at Mycroft is to improve this technology to the point that when you interact with the software it is impossible to tell if you are talking to a human or a machine.

This initial release of the Mycroft software represents a significant effort by the Mycroft community to give the open source world access to this important technology.  We are all hoping that the software will be useful to the public and will help to usher in a new era of human machine interaction.

Our community welcomes everyone to use Mycroft, improve the software and contribute back to the project.  With your help and support we can truly make Mycroft an AI for everyone.
