For episode 15 Ken, Monty and I showed a primitive IRC controlled motor controller and text to speech. Ken and I prototyped the motor controller with the DLP-IO9-G USB 8 channel IO module and several motorized toys. The controller is pretty easy to integrate, because it uses serial characters to configure the IO pins for input, output or analog input and toggle the output pins when in output mode. Monty improved his Perl scripts to parse the IRC text, output authorized users text to the Macs say command and sending the users motor controls to the DLP modules.
Hi Jeri,
I’m CJ
I’m a natural language engineer and also work in search engine optimisation. Anyway, I signed a pledge where I said I would write about a woman in tech on my blog on the 24th of March 2009.
I’m late because it’s the 25th (here in Oz anyway) but I wrote about you. I posted it just now, let me know if there are any inaccuracies so I can change them.
Keep on playing with wires.
