An-Tech's picture

 I've worked on this alot latley. It's an improved version of my text editor. Basically, it was made to test the keyboard input and TV output for the propeller, but ended up being alot more work than it was worth. In the end, I just realized that I only needed to use the ending string (13, 10). Only some minor problems remain: no tv objects will work unless the prop. is plugged into the computer and no spaces show up when using the read method. Here's the code:

The Video explains all.

This is my automated light switch, built in a little under 2 hours. Just one application that a servo can be used for.

The servo is just mounted on some hastily cut masonite, the triangular brackets are just glued to the main board with PVA, and everything else is held together with double sided foam tape.

Voice controlled room

dannytemmerman's picture

I have an idea about a voice controlled room.

I would use an atmega8-16PU to switch lamp and other items on

I have an old pc laying in my room with windows 2000.

It has a serial port, a parallel port and 2 usb ports.

I want it to interface with my atmega8, but I am wondering how you use voice control with it.

I could also use an arduino, but for now I am thinking it al out.

This is an idea for home automation.

 

So does anybody now how I would program my pc for voice control.
