text-to-speech using Emic plateform

Archiver

i have implemented the following code to generate speech.

' {$STAMP BS2}
' {$PBASIC 2.5}

INPUT 10 ' Serial data PROM Emic Platform
OUTPUT 9 ' Serial data to Emic Platform
INPUT 8 ' Busy pin from Emic Platform
RX CON 10
TX CON 9
BUSY CON 8
BAUD CON 396 ' 24 baud, 8-bit, no parity


however, when i run the code there is a chirping noise for about 10 seconds at
the start of the code. does anyone have any recommendations.

Suggestion: It looks like you are using pin
10 for RX, and pin 9 for TX. Power-up
default is for input on all pins -- and
pin 9 will become an output when you try
to 'send' on it. So, remove the
'OUTPUT 9' statement.

My guess is you're inadvertently sending
a whole string of '1's when you start up.
