From the project

Local voice assistant with a character: Whisper and a 26B LLM on a reflashed datacenter GPU, a custom voice, a 3D-printed body and a KiCad PCB

Native KiCad 10 project for Pi Zero 2 W, ICS-43434 microphone, MAX98357A amplifier and one FS90 servo. Revision E replaces D for the next prototype evaluation. Purchasing is deferred.

- R107: verified 32.0k 0.1% part, with recalculated supervisor thresholds. - R101: Pi/audio current limit lowered from about3.33A to2.02A nominal. - C101:10nF; slower Pi/audio startup reduces nominal reservoir charging surge from0.94A to0.44A. - External requirements now include the Pi, microSD, stencil/assembly and enclosure/linkage.
