Bluetooth on rpi4

Adel · 2021-12-26 20:24:33 UTC

Hi!

I wonder if you have been able to use bluetooth on your raspberry pi 4?

while scaning for devices i keep getting “No default controller available”. I have you experienced it? and solved it?

Best!

It has been disabled in the config.txt file by dtoverlay=disable-bt, right?

So it might be asked how to enable it and still have serial functionality? You can use /Serial0 in lieu of /ttyAMA0 for the ‘newer’ RPi’s and maybe use miniuart-bt,krnbt=on to use with /ttyS0?

I haven’t had luck with it.

Hi @jax200

What if i use a dongle to connect to the headset and then plug it in the usb port in the pi? Will i then still need to enable the bt in the txt file?

Thanks man! I really appreciete your time

I thought you were referring to the companion RPi used with the drone? Why do you want to use a headset?
If just with the RPi alone there are plenty of tutorials on setting up the bt.

Yes! i am referring to companion RPi used with the drone. But i want to verbally send command to the drone instead of using the computer

I tried to follow these threads but no luck.

I can now connect my headphones with the rpi but i could not use the microphone for some reason. so i am looking for other options

jax200 · 2022-01-02 19:23:16 UTC

So you are aware of Caleb’s latest project here that might help with what you want?

I did this on another (option 3):
https://maker.pro/raspberry-pi/tutorial/the-best-voice-recognition-software-for-raspberry-pi

Also see:
https://howchoo.com/pi/bluetooth-raspberry-pi

I have used this to speak into a mic which runs code and displays text on a moving LED display. It asks for a language and what I want to say. It then displays what I say in English in the language I choose and reads it out of a speaker.

Thanks!

i do not have a webbcam so i tried an usb wireless adapter, but still the pi cannot regonise the hardware

Adel · 2022-01-11 02:19:25 UTC

Hi @jax200

i followed the video and tried the audio to text on the pi but it failed to find the audio

jax200 · 2022-01-11 18:39:43 UTC

I’m not going to be much help, but I noticed “usb” is not in your configuration?

Adel · 2022-01-11 20:06:38 UTC

thx, changed it but still not working.

keep getting recognition request failed: Unauthorized

feedback when i run the script maybe @caleberg knows?
