|
|
||
| ## Getting Started | ||
|
|
||
| Follow these steps to get started with your Friend. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Install the app | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Clone the repo `git clone https://github.com/BasedHardware/friend.git` | ||
| 2. Choose which version of the app you want to install (see Structure). | ||
| - Don't have the device? run `cd apps/AppStandalone` in terminal | ||
| - Have the device/NRF Board? run `cd apps/AppWithWearable` in terminal | ||
| 3. Install [Flutter](https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install/macos/mobile-ios?tab=download) and [CocoaPods](https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html) | ||
| 4. Install your environment variables | ||
|
|
||
| - For AppWithWearable, open file api_calls.dart located in `apps/AppWithWearable/lib/backend/api_requests ` Find "Whisper" and instead of "key", provide your own api-key for openai whisper for transcriptions to work | ||
|
|
||
| <img src="https://github.com/BasedHardware/Friend/assets/43514161/d0fb89d2-07fd-44e3-8563-68f938bb2319" alt="CleanShot 2024-03-25 at 21 58 42" width="400"> | ||
|
|
||
| then, go to apps/AppWithWearable/lib/custom_code/actions and in the "stream_api_response" file, add your openai key instead of "<key>" | ||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| - For AppStandalone, update variables in in .env.template file | ||
|
|
||
| 5. iOS: [Install XCode](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12) then navigate to the iOS folder. You might need to launch Xcode to select a team and specify a bundle identifier. | ||
| Android: Download/install [android Studio ](https://developer.android.com/studio) then navigate to the Android folder | ||
| Don't run in web/simulator: Bluetooth will not work | ||
| 6. Run `flutter clean ` then `flutter pub get` then `pod install` | ||
| 7. When everything is installed, run `flutter run `, this should run your app on a selected device | ||
|
|
||

|
|
||
| 2. In the nRF Connect Extension inside your VS Code, click "Open an existing application" and open the `firmware` folder from the root of this repo. | ||
|
|
||
| <img src="./images/vscode_extension.png" alt="VS Code Extension" width="200"> | ||

| <img src="./images/addbuild.png" alt="Add Build Configuration" width="200"> | ||
|
|
||
| 4. Choose the board as "xiao_ble_sense" and select the configuration as "prj.conf". Then, click "Build Configuration". | ||
|
|
||
| <img src="./images/build_settings.png" alt="Build Settings" width="400"> | ||
|
|
||
| 5. Once the build succeeds, you will find the `zephyr.uf2` file in the `firmware/build/zephyr` directory. | ||
|
|
||
| 6. Double-click on the reset button of the device. The device will appear on your computer as a disk. Drag and drop the `zephyr.uf2` file into it. | ||
|
|
||
| > **Note:** On a Mac, you might see an error message after dropping the file, indicating that the process did not complete. This is just a Mac-specific error; the firmware is successfully uploaded. | ||
| <img src="./images/pinout.jpg" alt="Pinout" width="300"> | ||
|
|
||
| That's it! You have successfully installed the firmware on your device. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Testing Audio Recording on Your Computer | ||
|
|
||
| Follow these steps to test audio recording on your computer using a Python script: | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Open your terminal and navigate to the project's root directory. | ||
|
|
||
| 2. Change to the "test" folder: | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| cd test | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 3. Install the required Python modules: | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| pip install -r requirements.txt | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 4. Run the Python script: | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| python local_laptop_client.py | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| The recorded audio files will be stored periodically in the `test/recordings` directory. | ||
|
|
||
| That's it! You have now set up and tested audio recording on your computer. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Assemble the device | ||
|
|
||
| **Step 0:** Make sure you have bought everything from the buying guide above | ||
|
|
||
| <img src="https://github.com/BasedHardware/Friend/assets/43514161/fdc7f8bd-6205-49a8-aa31-ea4ef6655ba4" alt="Components" width="300"> | ||
|
|
||
| **Step 1:** You need to design the case using 3D printer. Find .stl file [here](https://github.com/BasedHardware/Friend/blob/main/3d-printing%20designs/Cover%20%2B%20Case.stl). If you don't know how to do it, send this file to someone who has a 3d printer | ||
|
|
||
| **Step 2:** | ||
| Solder everything together like on the picture below. using a soldering kit. Don't have it? buy [this one for $9](https://a.co/d/0XdthUV) | ||
|
|
||
| <img src="https://github.com/BasedHardware/Friend/assets/43514161/c254668c-1662-412f-8b2c-05a97fb68419" alt="Soldering" width="400"> | ||

|
|
||
| **Step 3:** | ||
| Fit everything in the case. Biggest hole is for the usb port. In my example, I put the battery first, then the board and then the switch, however it's not an ideal design. If you will figure out a better solution, please contribute! | ||
|
|
||
| <img src="https://github.com/BasedHardware/Friend/assets/43514161/4abae04c-2477-4b9a-a74c-077a463f4c29" alt="Assembled" width="300"> | ||
|
|
||
| **Step 4:** Use hot glue to attach the lid to the case. You can also use a scotch tape first for testing purposes. Last, on the USB-port side, you'll find 2 small round holes. This is where the thread should go through. | ||
|

| We welcome contributions from the community! If you're interested in improving Friend, our current biggest goal is to combine both apps together (AppStandalone with AppWithWearable). | ||
|
|
||
| - Standalone App brings great prompts and rich structure | ||
| - AppWithWearable brings simple bluetooth connecting functionality | ||
