Agenda

Emic 2 Text-to-Speech Module

LRF-to-Game Boy Printer Hack

Page 5: Talking,Singing,and Game Boy Printing · Talking,Singing,and Game Boy Printing by Joe Grand Grand Idea Studio Parallax Expo 2012. Me. electrical engineer. hardware hacker. former

Emic 2: Overview

Multi-language text-to-speech synthesizer

Fonix DECtalk 5.0e1 TTS engine via Epson S1V30120 TTS IC

Dynamic control of speech & voice characteristics

- Pitch, speaking rate, word emphasis, phoneme, etc.

5V @ 30mA idle, 46-220mA active

1.25" W x 1.5" L x 0.37" H

Significant improvements over original Emic 1

Page 6: Talking,Singing,and Game Boy Printing · Talking,Singing,and Game Boy Printing by Joe Grand Grand Idea Studio Parallax Expo 2012. Me. electrical engineer. hardware hacker. former

Emic 2: User Interface

• Simple TTL-level serial interface, 9600bps

• ASCII commands/responses

• Connections to host:

1. GND

2. VCC

3. SOUT (Serial Out)

4. SIN (Serial In)

• Audio output:

- SP+/SP- (8Ω Speaker, Bridge-Tied Load)

- 1/8" Audio Jack (Single-Ended)

Page 7: Talking,Singing,and Game Boy Printing · Talking,Singing,and Game Boy Printing by Joe Grand Grand Idea Studio Parallax Expo 2012. Me. electrical engineer. hardware hacker. former

Emic 2: Commands

• Convert text-to-speech (1023 byte maximum)

• Play demonstration messages

• Pause/stop playback

• Select voice (of 9)

• Set audio volume (-48 to 18dB)

• Set speaking rate (75 to 600 words/minute)

• Select language (English or Castilian/Latin Spanish)

• Select parser (DECtalk or Epson)

• Revert to default TTS settings

• Print version information

• Print list of available commands

LRF-to-Game Boy Printer

• Parallax Laser Range Finder module (#28044) meets old school Nintendo Game Boy Printer

• Inspired by furrtek's GBP reverse engineering

• Write-up @ http://forums.parallax.com/ showthread.php?136293

LRF-to-GBP: Details

• LRF: 160 x 128 greyscale image @ 8bpp

• GBP: 160 x ∞ @ 2bpp

• Modified version of original LRF firmware

- Only need camera interface, frame grabber, and serial communication functionality

- LRF grabs single frame when button pressed- Frame processed and sent to GBP via SPI

• Created Game Boy Printer Interface object for Obex (Spin): http://obex.parallax.com/objects/814/

Page 25: Talking,Singing,and Game Boy Printing · Talking,Singing,and Game Boy Printing by Joe Grand Grand Idea Studio Parallax Expo 2012. Me. electrical engineer. hardware hacker. former

LRF-to-GBP: Image Processing

• Need to rearrange all the pixels and downsample

- LRF frame stored in a linear format- GBP expects image data in a series of tiles (blocks)

• Each tile = 8 pixels * 8 pixels

• 20 tiles horizontal per band

• 2 bands per buffer

• 640 bytes per transaction
