sparc-auburn/lab-assistant

The purpose of this project is to create a virtual assistant to assist SPARC members using Python. The virtual assistant will be fully featured including abilities to help in the lab to automating a home. It will include a system that allows for easy to use management of lab equipment and various administrative features. The virtual assistant could also be integrated on a mobile robotic platform to allow more capabilities that a static computing platform could. Our current iteration of the virtual assistant is named Karen.

lab-assistant's Issues

Add Slackbot capability

Update CONTRIBUTING.md to represent development process

Include adding issues, working with projects, labels, milestones, releases, and etc.
Mention code is primarily in Python and provide links to resources (Codecademy, PyCharm, etc.)
Mention version control is in Github and provide links to resources (Overview of Git, Git for Windows, Source Tree, etc.)

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode

gtts is not accepting encoded responses properly

Example:
Command heard: what is the weather in auburn today
Response: Today in Auburn it will be around 63°F and scattered showers.
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 36: ordinal not in range(128)
