Point taken. I think it actually sounds worse than the SP0256. I would think it is mostly a question of storing sufficiently high resolution speech samples. The webbot lib fits in 6K so there is plenty of room for improvement. Thanks for sharing the link to the other speech synth software, perhaps I should look around a bit more to see if there is something better that can easily be ported.
let's hold our own competition! and make everybody a winner:
every entrant donates 1 prize. all entrants vote on other entries eurovision style. everyone chooses one prize, winner chooses first and so on down the list.
I had the Web Platform connected to my laptop using a RJ45. Should it be connected to my router instead? It may be one of those instructions that seems so obvious it is not in the documentation.
Nice job. Just another 134 or so motors to go then. An even more Heath Robinson useless machine would be very cool. Perhaps one that incorporates pIng pong balls, fountains, log plume, shuttlecocks. a record player mechanism... ;)
Thanks DP for the Scratch & Dent web platform. It's a version v1c. I plugged it in, found a new device on 192.168.1.8, and successfully ping'ed it. Also I downloaded web-platform/firmware/MCstackDemo/dp-wp-stackdemo.v0b.hex and saw the blinky LED, and got the UART echo at 115200 baud. So I'm happy the ds33 chip works. But when I opened a browser and navigated to 192.168.1.8, expecting to see a redirect to the MPFS upload page, I could not connect. Any advice?
Alright... definitely my last entry! This robot is supposed to move autonomously with phototaxis, but after a couple of years on the window sill it seems to have permanently retired. The pager motors were always underpowered, if I'm honest. The logic component is a 74AC240 octal inverting buffer used BEAM-style as both sensor and motor driver.
Looks like your burglar alarm is a momentary alarm. I wonder if it would be possible to configure 2 NAND gates as a flip flop for the annoying persistent kind. :-)
