Alternate GPIO pin for Alexa button? #10

Open petergiordano opened 7 years ago

petergiordano commented 7 years ago

Is it possible to use a different GPIO pin (other than 4) for the button to record to Alexa?

Reason: I'm using PowerBlock as an on/off switch for the Raspberry Pi 3. It utilizes installs on the top six GPIO pins (See attached).

Would love to be able to use any of the GPIO pins highlighted in the green bounding box in the attached screenshot.

Thanks for any advice!

@petergiordano of course it is, but configuration is not supported yet, you can fork the repository and change it. But I'm planning to remove button support and add hotword detection, soon there won't be any need for the button.

Awesome. I will try to fork the repo. Can you lead me to where I would change the GPIO pin setting? Also ... REALLY looking forward to hotword detection!

Checking in ... was hotword detection added yet? Considering adding a pushbutton to activate Alexa. Thanks for the update!
