Woof

This script plays a fake dog bark through speakers to scare people away from your house.

Setup

Set up the Pi:

$ sudo usermod -aG audio tanner
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-virtualenv libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0 supervisor

Install woof:

$ git clone https://git.tannercollin.com/tanner/woof.git
$ cd woof/
$ virtualenv -p python3 env
$ . env/bin/activate
(env) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

Run manually to test it:

$ . env/bin/activate
(env) $ python main.py

Ignore "(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred" errors.

#stderr_logfile_maxbytes=10MB
