Emic Text To Speech

Hello ...

I have the Emic Text to Speech module, and I'm using the BS2 to
control it, I want it to have a sentence read, then pause for a
certain amount of time then have another sentence read. I don't know
how to write the code for the time delay(pause) between two
sentences, anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you very much! I will appreciate any help ...

    What you'd have to do is monitor the busy line and wait for it to go
    away -- then send your next sentence. Just remember that it takes a bit
    of time to send the sentence to the Emic, and then it has to be
    processed to speech by the device.

    Nuts & Volts is an electronics magazine ... www.nutsvolts.com. I write
    a monthly column on programming BASIC Stamps (the Javelin gets some
    coverage too).

    Hi!

    Do anyone know about writing on an external eeprom, from the book "Stamp Works"
    version 1.2
    on page 200, there is interesting code lines about I2C communications. I wrote
    all of this program
    and i'm trying to put a value to the variable "outval" , transfert it to my
    24LC32 and retrive it,
    but while running the program, the answer is always " 255 " and "fail" . I know
    that at least I see
    the "Fail" subroutine work marvellously but it is not really what I'm looking
    for!

    I wrote
    Main:
    outval = 150 'I put 150 to outval
    i2cdata = outval 'i2cdata is the variable used for transfert
    gosub write_byte ' I expect it write the value "150" to the 24LC32
    pause 10
    gosub read_byte 'supposed to read my data "150" from the 24LC32
    inval = i2cdata 'supposed to get "150" from 24LC32 i2cdata
    variable
    debug ? inval ' instead of that, it display "255"
    if (inval <> outval) then Bad_addr 'this work very well
    debug " PASS " 'never been displayed of course
    goto next_addr

    So, if anyone have simples code or correction to get better understanding.

    Thanks

    Rene

    If you have a good part and it's all connected properly, there is no
    reason that the program shouldn't work for you as well as it does for
    me. I've been using the I2C routines included in that experiment in
    lots of projects with a lot of success, and even ported them to the
    Javelin Stamp.

    Here's some additional information abour using I2C with the stock BS2:

    Hi. What exactly is Emic text to speech? Could you give me some
    more info. or a website so I can check it out? It sounds very
    interesting.
