Controlling your World the Easy Way

In addition to the above "Talk Test" program code and report of operation, i am including the stereo recording of the 2 serial lines in real-time as the program ran, it lasts 7 seconds.' Save this audio wav file, http://rbse.us/ezsbc1/emic2_ezsbc1_serial_data_capture_.wav to your computer ...

Thanks Andries, I appreciate you inserting the changes in my code, which is a known constant in my head, and that makes it easier for me to understand. Let's put our thinking caps on and analyze what is happening here. I added timers in the code to measure the time spent in a RX serial REPEAT/UNTIL ...

Sorry Daniel,

That does not make sense to me.
Could you insert the corrections in my test code listed above.
I'll learn by seeing the changes in what I wrote.
Thanks,

Robert

Thanks for getting back to me Daniel, I just got back my text-to-speech module from the factory and it is a known-good module. I took the code you gave me and used it in this test program below. The EzSBC1 does not wait for the ":" to be transmitted by the module, or so it would seem. Inst...

Thanks Daniel, Nowhere in the manual does it state that "<>" is valid, nor does it show any examples anywhere. The closest it comes to is in page 18 of the manual where it says: Valid expressions contain one of the five relational operators =, <, >, <= and >= and variables or constants. It...

Greetings once again, Thanks Andries for this code, but it does not work as expected. It is suppose to wait for the speech module to finish speaking before sending a ":" but it sends it immediately, it does not wait. 'wait for ACK from speech module... talkACK: REPEAT ' loop until speech m...

Good Evening your time Andries,

OK, i gather this is not as simple as i thought.
How i was wanting to use it is:

IF x$ <> z$ THEN...
&
IF X <> Z THEN...

Is this what you meant Andries?

Enjoy your evening...

Greetings,

How do I test for in-equality, "A$ <> B$" & "A <> B"...???

There must be a work-around but i don't know it.
Any help is much appreciated.

WoW...

I did not even see that at all.
i thought it made sense but i couldn't figure it out.
Sometimes i miss the obvious when i'm looking for the obscure...
Thanks again Andries

Greetings All, The following code does not work. From my screen: === Control BASIC v0.73 R-Run S-Step L-List E-Edit C-Configure B-Bank D-Download K-Reset T-Time & Date Program Listing: ' create random passcode to enter and speak... RNDpassword$ = "" RNDpass$=STR$(INT(RND(9000)+1000)) '...

Hi Andries, You are so helpful, i can't thank you enough for your assistance. Your code snippet works fine... :D What i noticed is that i had inserted a LF, AND a CR where only 1 is required, i thought it was both. The fact that you separated the SEROUT commands i think made a difference too. The po...

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Andries.
I appreciate your help in assisting me, and your great communications.
I look forward to what you discover...
Sleep well,

Good morning Andries, My concern is not the Emic 2 as from what i read it is doing what it suppose to do, the 3 second boot only happens on power up. The returned ":" is not critical for simply sending the text-to-speech module a string to convert, it's just a response to trigger events in...

Greetings All, For a project I'm working on I purchased an Emic 2 Text-to-Speech module that takes a 9600 baud serial text string and converts it to speech, very nicely i might add. ((( Listen ))) ( Manual ) My problem is I don't understand how to use SERINP$ to get a response from the text-to-speec...

THANK YOU! Andries...

That is a perfect explanation on how to use BIN$.
Now that is easy to understand.
Daniel should hire you to write his manual.

I have another issue with SERINP$.
I can't figure out how to use it based on the manual.
I'll start a new thread.
