First Sapphire portable device. 1 USB-C cable, wifi, raspi 4. Respeaker 4-mic array with LED ring. Zip tied to an Oontz BT speaker. A camera sits dangling in the center. The play/pause BT controls LED/wakeword. This is a client to the sapphire server, not a server itself.
This isn’t just an Alexa- Sapphire can tap into this device to take pictures, listen to audio unprompted (as a tool call), or play TTS without asking permission on heartbeat.
The LED is blinding my camera, but it’s colorful AF. It is held together with zip ties right now, but it feels actually solid. This feels better to use than my desktop mic and speakers, maybe because of the LED ring, I’m not sure yet.
