• Voice/IR Test #1

  mikesoniat • 08/17/2014 at 22:37 • 0 comments

  This is my first test of the voice board with IR transmitter. I've only recorded commands for TV on/off at this point. The IR codes were captured from the TV remote and stored in the Arduino's EEPROM. When the voice board recognizes the command, the Arduino searches for it in EEPROM, reads the IR codes for that command, and sends them to the IR LED.

• Adding the IR Sensor and IR LED

  Now I'm ready to add the IR sensor, which will be used for learning mode; basically reading the IR codes from an existing remote control. I'll also add a pushbutton to switch modes between learning and command and a transistor circuit for the IR LED, which will send the IR codes to the device you're controlling. 

  Below, I have attached Fritzing images of the breadboard and schematic.

  NOTE: The Fritzing library did not include the voice recognition board, so I used a breakout board with similar connections.

• Testing the Voice Board w/ Arduino

  mikesoniat • 08/11/2014 at 23:03 • 0 comments

  My first step is to test the voice recognition board with an Arduino Uno and some LEDs. The voice board connects to the Arduino via a serial connection on the RX and TX pins and sends a unique HEX ID for each voice command.

  1. I stored my first 5 voice commands on the voice board using a FTDI connection to my PC and a terminal program.

  2. I programmed a simple Arduino sketch that reads the input from the voice board and turns ON and OFF the appropriate LED.
