Custom voice HAT with stereo microphones and a mono audio output. Can be used with any voice assistant project built on Pi like the AlexaPi or Google Assistant on Pi.

Google made their AIY projects kit available to the Pi users for free through the MagPi Magazine Issue 57. However, due to tremendous demand, it has got sold out many times. So to help out the ones without the kit and as a contribution to the Pi community, I have come up with this DIY Voice HAT.

The HAT is created using the same components found on the original AIY Projects Kit Voice HAT. By, writing the same device tree, the DIY Custom Voice Hat can be used as an alternative to the original Google Voice HAT.
