Discovery Sound Technology | Nashville, TN | Full-time | Ideally Onsite, Remote Available

We predict hardware failures before they happen using ultrasound! Our main product is a handheld tool that allows technicians, primarily for HVAC, to quickly and easily detect issues, sometimes years before the issues can cause downtime. We're an eight-person company looking for our 3rd Software Developer, ideally experienced with React/React Native. Bonus points for Machine Learning, AWS, or hardware experience

Email me if you're interested: `michaelp` at company website

"Q16.16" seems to refer to fixed floating point precision (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(number_format)). The parent comment is unhappy that SOD doesn't support floats with 16 integer bits and 16 fractional bits. I'm unsure why lack of support for 32 bit floats is such a problem considering that SOD is suppose to run on such resource constrained devices. Is there a particular domain where this is necessary?

You could try adding in some simple motion, like raising your hand, before the system would start listening for hot words. Maybe connect a cheap infrared sensor to GPIO and block its view so it only detects motion at or above certain height.
