Meeseeks Box

I picked up a bunch of these Google AIY Voice Kits for $5 from MicroCenter and decided it was time for a Meeseeks Box.

Sample clip from the show Rick and Morty.

I designed the box in Fusion360 where each side of the box would be a separate part. This way each side can be printed flat on the bed. I printed 4 sides and a top and then painted them with acrylic paint.

I went through the Google Voice Kits until I found one with a blue arcade button so it would match the color from the show.

I crawled the episode `Meeseeks and Destroy` pulling out a bunch of clips of Mr. Meeseeks and stuck those in a folder. I then wrote a small Node.js app to play a random clip each time the button is pushed.

Hardware

There really isn't a schematic for this project, as it uses the Google Voice HAT and the built in plugs for the speaker and arcade button.

Follow the official docs here under `Assemble The Hardware`. https://aiyprojects.withgoogle.com/voice-v1/

You just need to wire up the speaker and the arcade button.

Software

You will need to download Node.js and the repo containing all the code for this project and the audio clips.

Repo here.

Once you clone the repo to the raspberry pi, change directory in to that folder and run the command:

npm install

Then to start the program run:

npm start

Now each time you click the button an audio clip of Mr. Meeseeks will play.

Hope you enjoy.
