Starting to play around with the Amazon Alexa EV3 Mindstorms challenge I had a fun time, and really enjoyed putting together all pieces of the puzzle.
At the end I choose the theme I really love about the brick - party, fun and some easter egg. Fun fact: EV3 brick codename is Rudolph, hence is the filename rbf/rgf/rsf and so on.
The project explores the dangers of creating a new skill name (Rudolph) and helping the owner to party combined with an xmas special 40293 set.
You can say: Alexa, open Rudolph
Alexa: Welcome, and merry xmas. Let's party!
Then you continue: Alexa, Celebrate Xmas!
Alexa will celebrate xmas with the xmas tree model.
Walkthrough:
- completed missions 1-4 successfully from the challenge
- copied mission 4
- changed gadget name
- customized skill code to include celebration intent
- modified python code to react to intent
- modified index.js and model.json to send proper intents
- found a bug (skill name was not updated, so reiterated once again)
