More Robots at Barley
The robots liked it so much last year, I've taken an extended group back to Barley (Pendleside, Lancashire) May Bank Holiday Model Engineering Show again this year.
These two enhanced Robie SR's are showing off their SP0256 "Narrator" speech chips:-

These Robies can operate in "Autonomous" mode or by 2.4Ghz radio control. As well as ultrasound and electronic compasses they have built-in "RoboCams".
Their brains are 3 Arduino UNOs linked by I2C. The master processor UNO holds command sequences, and also reads output from the 2.4GHz RX modules, ultrasound units and compass. Slave 1 works the 7 segment display pairs (ultrasound feedback) with a 6-bit BCD data bus to each pair.
Slave 2 holds the speech dictionary (words constructed from allophone sound fragments) and drives the Mike Hawkins speech processor card.
