Using Arduino IDE

• On Arduino IDE, Select "Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries..."
• Search "m5stack avatar"
• Select "M5Stack_Avatar" from the results then click "Install"
• The library gets installed

Using Platform IO

• Initialize your Platform IO project

mkdir my-avatar
cd my-avatar

• Install the library and its dependency

platformio lib install M5Stack
platformio lib install M5Stack-Avatar

• The library gets downloaded from repository to .piolibdeps directory

Usage

#include <M5Stack.h>
#include <Avatar.h>

using namespace m5avatar;

Avatar avatar;

void setup()
{
  M5.begin();
  avatar.init(); // start drawing
}

void loop()
{
  // avatar's face updates in another thread
  // so no need to loop-by-loop rendering
}

Using LipSync

• setup AquesTalk-ESP32 (http://blog-yama.a-quest.com/?eid=970195).

  • (For parsing Kainji statement) Copy the dictionary file from above link to the microSD card.
  • You don't need to copy AquesTalkTTS files. They are included in this library.

• Write below to open avatar mouth according to the audio output.

#include <AquesTalkTTS.h>
#include <M5Stack.h>
#include <Avatar.h>
#include <tasks/LipSync.h>

using namespace m5avatar;

// AquesTalk License Key
// NULL or wrong value is just ignored
const char* AQUESTALK_KEY = "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX";
Avatar avatar;

void setup() {
  int iret;
  M5.begin();
  // For Kanji-to-speech mode (requires dictionary file saved on microSD)
  // iret = TTS.createK(AQUESTALK_KEY);
  iret = TTS.create(AQUESTALK_KEY);
  avatar.init();
  avatar.addTask(lipSync, "lipSync");
}

void loop() {
  M5.update();
  if (M5.BtnA.wasPressed()) {
    // For Kanji-to-speech mode
    // TTS.play("こんにちは。", 80);
    TTS.play("konnichiwa", 80);
  }
}
