Hi! As the title suggests I'm trying to make Q.bo speak Dutch using Google TTS (since Pico does not support Dutch language), but as soon as I import the TTS engine into the autostart python file Q.bo does not start anymore, even if I do not use it anywhere in the code. I've written my own separate code to run on the Q.bo, on which it works just fine. Does anybody have a clue why this is? Is it some kind of clash with other packages imported in the autostart file? Or is it something else entirely?

Thanks in advance!

Did you check Qbo_InteractiveMode.log? (Assuming you did the change in PiFaceFast.py) 

Otherwise post the code so I can try...

(Also dutch speaking ;-) )

No, did not check that yet! What should I be looking for in there? I did indeed change stuff in PiFaceFast.py among other things, although from the code in autoStart.py I would think that this has nothing to do with the 'jam' as soon as I import the TTS library into it, since it will be the first program to run (excuse me if I'm wrong, still a bit of a newby with this kind of stuff) and it does not even come to say 'Hello' (line 20-23), even though I did not change anything in the code yet except for the import statement. Did you manage to get your Q.bo to speak Dutch?

Yes, but only in Google Assistant mode... and only in English language setting and asking "What is mushroom in dutch?"..."Paddenstoel". ;-)

I was just curious in what you changed and the error messages you are seeing. I am willing to give it a shot but then specify exactly what you changed. I did tweak a bit around in the code of Q.bo but I didn't experiment (yet) with Google TTS yet.
