After a long session at the workbench this past Sunday, I managed to build the mechanism and the circuit to make my robot box talk with Emic 2 supplying the speech!

I&#8217;m still working on better code so I&#8217;ll wait until the final installment to post it here.<br \/>\nThe sound to voltage circuit was explained last week and this week it all got mounted on a perfboard along side an LM386 amplifier circuit. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/?attachment_id=801\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-801\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2talkbot-007.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Emic2talkbot 007\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-801\" srcset=\"http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2talkbot-007.jpg 1000w, http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2talkbot-007-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2talkbot-007-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The motor with the bent wire worked perfectly to open the mouth, and gravity closes it when the voltage is no longer present. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/?attachment_id=806\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-806\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2talkbot-006.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Emic2talkbot 006\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-806\" srcset=\"http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2talkbot-006.jpg 1000w, http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2talkbot-006-150x112.jpg 150w, http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2talkbot-006-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I drew up a new schematic too&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/?attachment_id=811\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-811\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2-sound-to-voltage-schematic3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Emic2 sound to voltage schematic\" width=\"948\" height=\"397\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-811\" srcset=\"http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2-sound-to-voltage-schematic3.jpg 948w, http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2-sound-to-voltage-schematic3-150x62.jpg 150w, http:\/\/hackaweek.com\/hacks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Emic2-sound-to-voltage-schematic3-300x125.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 948px) 100vw, 948px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next week there will be two robots having a &#8220;random&#8221; conversation with each other.
