Re: SpeakJet

2006-04-11 by djbrow54

I got my TTS256 interfaced yesterday to my SpeakJet.  What a neat 
chip.  You just send messages to the chip terminated in a 
carriage return ($0d) and it speaks!  No more endless strings of 
numbers to get this chip to say a few words.  The input buffer is 256 
bytes and you cannot send data to the chip when it is speaking. I 
decided to stay with the larger ATMEGA8 since the ram is larger and 
implemented a 832 byte buffer. I can send three complete buffers to 
the ATMEGA8 for queuing to the TTS256. The speakjet speaking pin 
should interface back to the ATMEGA8 although I haven't tried this in 
my configuration yet.

So ... some questions.

Who is interested in a SpeakJet?
What are you planning on doing with it?
Are you interested in the TTS256 chip?
Any interest in an I2C bridge chip to connect to the SpeakJet/TTS256?
