The Satellite1 HAT Board is designed to seamlessly integrate with our Core Board, empowering you to create a world-class voice assistant. It features 4 high-performance microphones powered by an XMOS audio processing chip, enabling clear audio capture even in noisy environments. Additionally, the HAT boasts 4 programmable buttons, a headphone jack, and a robust 25W speaker amplifier. It even acts as a multi-sensor by measuring room temperature, humidity, luminosity, and presence when paired with a mmWave radar sensor.

Satellite 1 with cylindrical housing.

I added the Dayton,RS75-4 speaker and printed the cylindrical housing. All went well and looks and perform very well. I liked it so much that I ordered another one.

overall great!

Assembly of the satellite was simple. The STL files could also use a prusa slicer version. It works in prusa but was a pain figuring out which files were relevant since in prusa slicer the names don't carryover. A refresh or at least more options for speakers would be great. Many weren't available (easily) in the US. Setup was super easy and you guys did a great job. My only real critique is the microphones don't pickup our voice well. We need to be within a meter of it for it to work. Any further away, and we feel like we have to yell.
