Purpose: Lowest possible cost text- to-speech unit for the disabled, possibly in developing countries. Stand-alone (i.e. not PC based) Input devic...
You need to make a socket that you can plug your Nunchuck into. The easiest way is to buy a very cheap "nunchuck extender" cable similar to the one...
Here is a view of the socket you have cut from the extension cable. You are going to connect the contacts shown within the socket to the followin...
This is the wire colour arrangement for the extender cable I used. However, some different makes will have different coloured wires.
This illustrates how you will connect the wires from the extension cable socket to the Arduino.
The Arduino that "reads" the Nunchuck data we will call Arduino 1. The software running on this arduino will send commands to a second arduino - ...
Connect Digital pins on Arduino 1 to Digital pins on Arduino 2 as follows: GND to GND 11 to 11 4 to 4 5 to 9 7...
The output to the TV is simple yellow "video" plug. The cable to this has an inner central wire and an outer metal mesh shield wire around it. Thes...
This converts written text output from the Arduino 2 into speech. The one I have used an "EMIC" has been popular with robot builders for some ...
Wires are connected from Arduino 2 pins to the "EMIC" uinit I have used as shown here. The speech unit is a "serial to speech" unit and there are s...
Here you can see the EMIC unit and small computer speaker I have connected it to. The EMIC generates only 300 milliwatts of power so a small s...
You need to download TVout from here: http://code.google.com/p/arduino-tvout/downloads/list The top (latest version). Download and extr...
Move the TV out folder with the various h files etc inside, to your Arduino libraries folder - see photo, it has now been added (bottom right of photo...
There is software to be loaded on to the Arduino1 (which reads the Nunchuck data). There is software for the Arduino 2 which is a modified form of ...
The code that reads the Nunchuck is based on the initial work here - developed by Chad Phillips and others, see: http://windmeadow.com/node/42 For mo...
This illustrates how you will connect the wires from the extension cable socket to the Arduino.
