Worried of big tech spying on you? Ditch Alexa for a local (no cloud) voice assistant! (Part II – custom PCBA)

In this second video of a video series on how to create a local voice assistant which replaces Amazon Alexa and Google Home, we create a custom PCBA from the circuitry that we had built up in part I of the video series. We will go through the circuitry in an EDA software, will the go through the PCB schematic and finally see the custom PCBA in action. In part I of this video series, I had showed you how I built a prototype for a local voice assistant based upon ESPHome and Home Assistant. If you haven’t seen and read part I, I recommend watching this first (Link).
