Tips and Tricks / Re: A new Mic is born

« on: August 13, 2013, 07:34:14 PM »

Hah, very cool.  I was actually just thinking about something like this, but somehow working with Android, the VoxWav App, and one of the many future smartwatches that appear to becoming so popular.  Unfortunately, I'm no coder, so I'll have to be patient, but imagine mapping a wrist movement gesture to auto open the TCP stream to vox commando to send commands, all hands free!

check out this video to see one of the watches coming out with gesture and mic/audio  capabilities:  http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/kreyos-the-only-smartwatch-with-voice-gesture-control

Just an update for anybody having Hello Messages not return your Vox Commando Servers... 

Double check your UDP settings! 

In VoxWav:
Menu key > Settings > UDP send port (default is 33000)

In VoxCommando:
Options > Open Options > Advanced tab > UDB broadcasts Listen port (default is 33000)


If you are still having issues, you can manually create a hosts file as James mentioned above, you may need to create the jittersoft folder as well.
(you can use a free file explorer for android such as ES File Explorer to accomplish this)

Directory to create folder and hosts file:

Code: [Select]

sdcard/jittersoft/hosts.txt
The hosts file uses the following syntax:

Code: [Select]

HOSTNAME=IP ADDRESS:PORT:MAC ADDRESS
*Port should be your UDP port, and is optional (else it uses the one assigned in global settings)
*MAC Address is optional for Wake On Lan

Example1: 

Code: [Select]

OfficePC=192.168.0.103:33000:88-99-A5-80-A0-2F
Example2: 

Code: [Select]

OfficePC=192.168.0.103
Hope this is helpful for anybody else who over tinkers in the settings.

I get into work, check the forums and BAM, James to the rescue...  now I have to wait until I get home again!  You freakin rock!    Of course, I have family festivities to attend tonight as well, but will report back when I get some time to play again.

Ok, I'm retarded.  At some point it looks like I changed the UDP port on the problem (main) host.  It does like it may have effected the Hello packets as well, as it now shows up on Hello message now, but only after the 2nd attempt initially (and I still get the virtual NICS responding as well, but I can see that they are not the real network address).  

So problem resolved as far as getting AV.Mic.On / Off to show up in the log window.

Only issue I see now is that I can't use different UDP ports for both servers - the UDP Broadcast Port setting in VoxWav appears to be global.  This causes an issue if I create a Prefix duck to mute/partially mute VOX on AV.Mic.On/Off for both servers.  

If I use VoxWav on my Android phone, it will partially mute both servers as the UDB is broadcasted and both servers pick up AV.Mic.On and react to it.  WAF factor on my randomly muting her tv show/movie is not approved.  For now I have left off prefix ducking on the server in the living room.

*updated XML code on earlier post to replace with AV.Mic.On

Yes, all my devices are on a 192.168.0.0/24 network.  I'll do some more testing next chance I get, creating a checklist, let me know if you have any other ideas.

Test VC Config - Install fresh VC and test
Test Server NIC issues - Install fresh VC on Host with no VMs/VNICs and test
Test Android Device - Test with different Android Devices using VoxWav Free/Pro
Test Windows Firewall - Check Port/Disable and test
Test Network Infrastructure - Setup spare wireless router to eliminate network congestion or UDP blocking
Test Plumbling - drink beer during above testing to cover all bases

Doh, another no go...  AV.Mic.On / Off doesn't show up in my logs anywhere when using VoxWav  =(  Maybe that was a result of the amulet remote?

Thanks for this Kalle!  Maybe I missed seeing AV.Mic.On as an option in the history log...  I been multi-tasking too much.  Adding this to ducking will be beneficial as well.  I'll check it out when I get home.

Loved it! Can you do a video of how to set this up in Voxcommando?

Of how I did the original video or how I'm controlling my LED light strip?  Nothing fancy in the original, just a few scripted question and response TTS, ie, I say "what should we do tonight?" which is a voice command that responds with TTS:  "The same thing we do every night..."

but it is NOT on my actual SD card.

Lol, i hear ya... and I'm not even a developer.  That quote alone is something that annoys me, but I'm grateful you got it working for the most part....I'm an android nut =)

Darn, I was hoping that would work...but it didn't. 

I added. VC.Off and VC.Standby to my earlier two commands to mute TTS on TCPWav.Open, but the desktop mic is already listening and processes the voice command before VC.Off is triggered from TCPWav.Open.  In order for it to work, I'd need VC.Off at the end of all my commands (an ever growing list lol), but then I couldn't just walk up to my desk and say Listen/DORIS without hitting a hotkey or pulling out my phone to put it back into VC.On or VC.Standby again.

Having IR commands blasted twice turns on and turns off a device such as my fan light (or TV), thus accomplishing nothing if VoxCommando hears both local and Android mic.

Very informative, networking stuff is my job...so my home network is a little convoluted, but all my devices are on the same subnet.  Since most my PCs are static'd I have no problem modifying the host file, but it would be nice if the Hello message worked properly for the less savvy users. (maybe rename it to "Discover Vox Servers" ?)

Also, the server that does report the proper IP address doesn't like showing up the first time I send the Hello message, but works after the second time...  not sure if it's a timeout thing, but it wouldn't surprise me cause my network is a bit congested.

In any case, I assume that directory/file shoud? be created, but it's not.  I checked my devices and could not find that file, let alone that directory.  I used ES file explorer, and ran a search on all 3 devices from root directory (/) and included all subfolders for "jittersoft".  The following directories popped up:

/data/user/0/com.jittersoft.voxwav/
/data/user/0/com.jittersoft.voxwav.free/shared_prefs/
/data/user/0/com.jittersoft.voxwav.free/shared_prefs/lib/
/data/user/0/com.jittersoft.voxwav.free/shared_prefs/databases
/data/user/0/com.jittersoft.voxwav.free/
etc...

Basically, all were in /data/user/0/com.jittersoft   or    /data/data/com.jittersoft.

So I did what you said and navigated to sdcard/, created a jittersoft folder and created a blank hosts.txt file inside it.  I then re-opened VoxWav Pro and clicked edits hosts and it opened up a blank file successfully.  I added my servers in manually.  Initially they don't show up, but after a full exit of VoxWav Pro, and re-opening, the servers showed up in my list when I click the Host/Computer icon. *yay*

I do still have that wrong virtual NIC showing up if I send Hello message, but the ones entered in the hosts.txt still are direct options that I don't have to discover anymore, so I'm happy =)

Let me know if you want any logs or for me to test anything further with Android stuff or Networking.  I have the following devices:
Nexus One (rooted) running CyanogenMod rom on 2.3.7 Gingerbread
HTC Evo/Flyer (not-rooted) stock on 3.2.1 Honeycomb
Galaxy S2 (rooted) running AOKP ROM on 4.1.2 Jelly Bean
Transformer Infinity TF700T (rooted) running CleanROM on 4.1.1 Jelly Bean

...and hopefully a GS4, unless Google I/O reveals something better in the pipeline lol...

That was a great help Kalle, thank you!  Im now keeping a close eye on those Events in the Log to look for triggers on other commands.

I have something like this with a similar card remote except it is a LED stip.  Combined with eventghost and a USBUIRT I can request specific colors. But ya, I thinis responds to ALL sounds, probably from an internal mic that listens to the whole room.  Great for music and parties, but wont react to only TTS for the voice effect.

VoxWav Free and VoxWav Pro / VoxWav Pro Host discovery

« on: April 21, 2013, 02:12:33 PM »

I have 2 machines running VoxCommando and I'm running into an issue where VoxWav Pro is discovering one of my machine's virtual NIC IP Addresses (25.32.41.171) instead of the real Physical IP Address (192.168.0.56) when Sending the Hello Message.

I went ahead and disabled all virtual nics (created by the VMs I run on the same server), and restarted both VoxWav Pro and VoxCommando, but it still shows up, so I'm having to go into VoxWav settings to use it again.  I figure it might be saved in the hosts file somehow, so I tried clicking Edit Hosts on VoxWav Pro, but the following error pops upr:


Error
Error occurred when getting file content: hosts.txt



This occurs on at least 2 of my android devices - I'll do some more digging when time permits (I have 4 different android devices to mess around with, 3 are rooted).
