For self-charging, I have considered the same problem. What charging mechanism were you considering?. I was thinking about a phone wireless charge element but will need to test it to see if it can provide enough power. Will need to get a camera and recognition going first so I can find the charge station (kitty bed).
I am looking forward to see it, thank you!
Hi Franke,
nice work!
I currently have also working voice recognition combined with OpenCatWeb. I'm going to publish it here when it's finished.
For face recognition and reactions I'm using ESP32-CAM.
https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-cam-video-streaming-face-recognition-arduino-ide/ The module fits in Nybble's head if you slightly adapt it.
I'm also going to port my OpenCatWeb project to ESP32 because it's less power hungry and you can archive the same results.
So yeah, "Lot of things are going on with OpenCat".
Hi Franke,
I love your work. It's on my to-do list.
I have implement Battery voltage detection. You can read how easy it was at https://www.petoi.com/forum/hardware/reading-battery-and-rp-voltage-from-nybble-v0-2. Using the RP Serial or Web API it will be easy to implement a low voltage subroutine to initiate the need to charge.

Keep up the good work.

Blame the bad internet in China. How could I miss this post! Hahaha!
Hey, your project looks awesome. I see that Bela is your hot-word, how are you implementing hotword detection? Is this on github?
