# seeed-voicecard
|
||
|
||
The drivers for [ReSpeaker Mic Hat](https://www.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker-2-Mics-Pi-HAT-p-2874.html), [ReSpeaker 4 Mic Array](https://www.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker-4-Mic-Array-for-Raspberry-Pi-p-2941.html), [6-Mics Circular Array Kit](), and [4-Mics Linear Array Kit]() for Raspberry Pi.
|
||
|
||
### Install seeed-voicecard
|
||
Get the seeed voice card source code and install all linux kernel drivers
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone https://github.com/respeaker/seeed-voicecard
|
||
cd seeed-voicecard
|
||
sudo ./install.sh
|
||
sudo reboot
|
||
```
|
||
It may probably happen that the driver won't compile with the latest kernel when raspbian rolls out new patches to the kernel. If so, please try `sudo ./install.sh --compat-kernel` which uses an older kernel but ensures that the driver can work.

## ReSpeaker Documentation
|
||
|
||
Up to date documentation for reSpeaker products can be found in [Seeed Studio Wiki](https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/ReSpeaker/)!

|
||
### Coherence
|
||
|
||
Estimate the magnitude squared coherence using Welch’s method.
|
||
![4-mics-linear-array-kit coherence](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3901856/37277486-beb1dd96-261f-11e8-898b-84405bfc7cea.png)
|
||
Note: 'CO 1-2' means the coherence between channel 1 and channel 2.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# How to get the coherence of the captured audio(a.wav for example).
|
||
sudo apt install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib
|
||
python tools/coherence.py a.wav
|
||
|
||
# Requirement of the input audio file:
|
||
- format: WAV(Microsoft) signed 16-bit PCM
|
||
- channels: >=2
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### uninstall seeed-voicecard

### Technical support
|
||
|
||
For hardware testing purposes we made a Rasperry Pi OS 5.10.17-v7l+ 32-bit image with reSpeaker drivers pre-installed, which you can download by clicking on [this link](https://files.seeedstudio.com/linux/Raspberry%20Pi%204%20reSpeaker/2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf-lite-respeaker.img.xz).
|
||
|
||
We provide official support for using reSpeaker with the following OS:
|
||
- 32-bit Raspberry Pi OS
|
||
- 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS
|
||
|
||
And following hardware platforms:
|
||
- Raspberry Pi 3 (all models), Raspberry Pi 4 (all models)
|
||
|
||
Anything beyond the scope of official support is considered to be community supported. Support for other OS/hardware platforms can be added, provided MOQ requirements can be met.
|
||
|
||
If you have a technical problem when using reSpeaker with one of the officially supported platforms/OS, feel free to create an issue on Github. For general questions or suggestions, please use [Seeed forum](https://forum.seeedstudio.com/c/products/respeaker/15).
