I added Google Now voice commands to my LED Coffee Table

I added Google Now voice commands to my Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered LED Coffee Table that I built at the DMS awhile back.

The LEDs are hooked up to an Arduino for direct control, but the Arduino can also be connected to a Raspberry Pi which communicates over USB serial.

The RPi is running a Java program I wrote with a webservice. It can change the Arduino modes or push out raw color info to it as an array. This allows it to display small images or make animations from a folder of images.

This weekend I set up some Tasker scripts on my phone to hit the RPi webservice and used the Tasker plugin AutoVoice to get voice recognition through Google Now. This means I can call scripts and change display modes with voice commands.

Well Done - looks awesome!
By any chance, are you planning to share the codebase on GitHub?

Awesome. Now if you could play pong on it…

Yeah it’s already on Github

You did a great job.

Beautiful lights and code.

Wow. I have no idea what’s going on here at all!

Very nice - thanks for sharing!
