# Google AIY Voicehat

#### *google-aiy-voicehat-skill.kalyaninagaraj*

### Description:

This Mycroft skill roughly follows @andlo's code outline for the excellent [picroft-google-aiy-voicekit](https://github.com/andlo/picroft-google-aiy-voicekit-skill) skill. It provides the same functionality but uses the gpiozero library instead of RPi.GPIO to operate the button-LED combo connected to the voicehat.

Additionally, an extended button press (> 7 seconds) forces a Linux shutdown.

The idea is to test gpiozero's ability to handle switch bounce when polling for a button press; in my experience, RPi.GPIO doesn't register hold times too well.
