Worried of big tech spying on you? Replace Alexa with local (no cloud) voice assistant - Part II

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 part I, I recommend watching this first:
