I found some schematics and a simple "manual" that hardly said anything at all. I did not find any detailed code examples or explanations. Please, if you have a file or link please post it. Thanks.

If you're a total noob, transistors may be hard to understand. I just use a 5 volt solenoid. Basic stamp is 5 volt so any small 5 volt solenoid should work. A solenoid is a tiny electromagnet that...

Hi,
What kind of programming commands would I use to get the time from the DS1307 time clock? Does this clock also display a date? How do I set the time and date for this clock? Thanks.

Look at my above post. It describes a water pressure sensor, but the sensor described could also be an air pressure sensor.

Hi,
I am assuming that the other GND on the EMIC is for grounding the AOUT pin. Is the following schematic correct?

Hi guys,
I have been putting pauses in the program in various places until my face is blue but I cannot get the PINK demo program listed above to run more reliably. It seems to work fine with...
Hi,
Can I use Radio Shack Mini Amplifier-Speaker 277-1008C ? Here are the specs; input sensitivity: 1mV, Input impedance: 5K ohm, Power Output(1 kHz): 200 mW (16 ohm load), distortion (1kHz): <2%...
The 2 demos seem to work fine. Just a minor problem. If the text to be spoken is "I am Emic hear me roar," it gets spoken as "I Emic hear me roar." However, if works fine when you type in "I m Emic...
Hi guys,
I have connected all the various VSS leads to one wire going to VSS on the PDB. I have also connected all the various VDD leads to one wire going to VDD on the PDB. I measured the voltage...
Hi guys,
Very interesting.... On the LOWEST volume setting, my RadioShack digital multimeter (22-813) registered an average maximum of 0.6 mA on the lowest EMIC TTS volume setting. This was...
allanlane5,
What do you mean by "needs a 10 Kohm pullup to Vdd?" Could you please show me a pic or schematic? (even a quick and dirty one hastily drawn is fine).

Dude, this IS the sample EMIC TTS demo program from Parallax. The PIN assignments are the same, too. As mentioned in my post, everything is the same as instructed on pages 12-14 of the PINK manual....

Hi guys,
I finally got my EMIC text to speech module to work. However, it works sporadically. Sometimes, I type in the phrase and it says nothing. It may take two tries for it to successfully say...
I am having the same problem. I am doing a workaround with old-fashioned punched cards instead of using a bar code reader. check the Parallax documentation, BS2P40 has voltage detectors that can read...

It should be fine. Considering that the servos require a 20 ms pause, you can slip at least 20 other commands in there and it will be O.K. If you have to slip more commands in there, it would still...
Hi guys,
The Parallax Emic Text to Speech (TTS) module has a schematic in the manual that says I'll need resistors, capacitors and variable resistors in order to set-up a device that will provide...
