I’m still trying to figure out how this all came about.
An email to my son (Oldbitcollector) must have started the ball rolling when
we discussed a computer that could be verbally commanded and respond by
doing real things like starting the car or the coffee pot.
Then he posted a few photos of the junk-bot we built in Mongolia on his site.
Ken, at Parallax, ended up sending me a complementary “What’s a micro?” kit.
Now it’s been 2 weeks, and amazingly, I’m beginning to understand this stuff!
Excellent tutorials and great support!
Thank you Ken!

    By the way: if you want to do voice commands, you have the option of The Say It Module or
    at some point, join me on the Propeller which has an OBJ for speech recognition.
