I'd joined this group to see if any progress had been made on the
SpeakJet module I'd read about online...but it looks like illness has
set Brice back quite a bit.  I'm sorry to hear it, and hope you're
feeling better.

Any intention of either building the SpeakJet module, or posting DIY
plans on the web site?  The mp3 samples sounded wonderful!

I wired up one to mine.  I don't know anyone else who has.  Originally 
I connected it via serial.  You don't really need the switches 
although I added them.  A minimum interface requires just two wires 
and a low pass filter.  I have schematics of the serial version here.

I didn't do much with it because the programming was such a pain.  
Later I added a TTS256 chip which makes it really nice.  It is also 
serial and you can just wire it in series with the speakjet.  However, 
when I did this, I changed my interface from serial since it caused 
issues with MIDI although I don't think many people would be using 
both.  Some details here

Hmm, forgive my ignorance here.  Is the proposed SpeakJet module
simply an add-on to the PSIM?  I don't have a PSIM... Or is it a
standalone Blacet-style sound-generation module?

Or is it merely a glimmer in somebody's eye?  I'm pretty good with
DIY, given a schem and layout diagram, but I'm not especially adept at
trial-and-error with electronics.

Thanks...
