Trying to play news requires long-form audio (music streaming) support, which is not part of the API.

Right now, there's not really a good way unless you capture the user transcription and implement it yourself.

This seems to be related to an error connecting to and communicating with the peripheral. Can you verify that the device is connected correctly?

Good morning, We've recently [added a program](https://androidthings.withgoogle.com/submit-a-driver/#!/) to let developers submit drivers from their own repository to androidthings.withgoogle.com. Can you put this change in your own repository and then submit...

The best option is to open a bunch of GPIO ports on the Pi and [bit-bang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_banging) on the clock and data lines through software.

I don't think there's an example for Android Things. It'd be tough to have a good example, as you'd have to do it for every specific subformat that exists.

There may be a margin of error that is listed in the device datasheet. There may also be a part of your circuit that is causing a small drop, such...

You can keep the `EmbeddedAssistant` class, but you'll need to remove all the GPIO references in the main activity.

Can you disable the LED blinking on receiving audio samples and see if that resolves your issue?

I have also seen the behavior. Removing the code at https://github.com/androidthings/sample-googleassistant/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/example/androidthings/assistant/AssistantActivity.java#L162 resolved it. Perhaps it's a threading issue. I've made the change at some point in the staging repo.
