19 - MagicHat first words

I completed the mouth and the MagicHat now can speak.

I had to make some changes to the circuit for reading audio output. The new version includes two resistors and a capacitor to shift up voltage level by 2.5V

Using an headphone, I cut off one of the speakers and added a connector to be connected to the Arduino board

The video shows MagicHat saying its first word. "Hello". Unfortunately audio quality is not that good due to my smartphone limitations, but it gives the idea!

In the video, you can also see all the hardware ready to be installed

    I like it, nice idea using the headphone as a mini-speaker.

    Hi Enrico

    That's a good idea. Voice can be heard easily in a quiet enviroment but it's not loud enough to be heard in a noisy room. Definetely there are a lot of possible improvements, this is one of them... unfortunately it's a busy time for me so for the moment my hope is to complete the project!

     

    Cheers

    Ambrogio

    Here's an example where I did it with a one transistor amplifier:

     

    [Christmas Wreath of Things] Internet of Holiday Lights - Bonus kicker: the IoT talks (a spoken tribute to Science Fair kits)

     

    It's very difficult to understand - it's nothing more than a gimmick - but then again my low pass filter pas pathetic. But a fun project.

    Just a silly idea. Why not a simple 1 transistor amplifier ? I think you can do it with minimal components and there are tons of projects around.
