No firmware or written setup instructions are provided, completing the build requires watching the linked demo video and significant DIY electronics experience.

In plain English

This repository contains the files for a small physical voice assistant device that connects to Home Assistant, a popular open-source home automation platform. The device is shaped like a puck and has a circular LED display that shows its status. The project is a hardware build rather than a software package. The repository provides 3D-printable enclosure files (STL format, hosted on Thingiverse), a wiring diagram showing how to connect the electronic components, and a parts list photo. A demo video is linked from the README. The README itself is very brief: it shows images of the parts and the wiring, links to the 3D print files, and links to a demo video. It does not include written setup instructions, a bill of materials in text form, or firmware code within the repository. Someone reproducing this project would need to watch the demo video and follow the wiring diagram to understand the full build.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I'm building the bradcrc voice_assistant_circle_led project. The wiring diagram shows the connections but no firmware. What microcontroller and firmware should I use to integrate with Home Assistant via the Wyoming protocol?
Prompt 2
I've printed the enclosure from the bradcrc project and wired everything up. How do I configure a local voice pipeline in Home Assistant for a custom microphone device?
Prompt 3
Looking at the bradcrc parts reference image, help me identify each component and suggest where to buy them to replicate this voice assistant puck build.
