Hi, Yeah, I found that I had that datasheet in my BabbleBot folder ... I never knew that the Soundgin and the BabbleBot were the same chip. I've been using the SpeakJet chips with all my robot projects designed right onto the RoboGuts™ circuit board. With a project talking about each...

Hi, I forgot to mention that I have access to thousands of the SpeakJet and Soundgin chips that I can sell for the original price of $25ea. + shipping. .

Hi, He shut down speechchips.com thinking everybody moved onto .mp3 players, but he still sells the chips (Soundgin and SpeakJet) and arduino shields for several other chips on eBay.com. My problem is I am making one of his older RS-232 to chip designs to connect from my vintage Altair 8800...

Hi, Can you share more info about the Soundgin / BabbleBot chip? Got a schematic for the PIC to Soundgin chip? Want to sell your PIC to Soundgin? wperko @he brainless dot org-anizm

Hi, Thanks, I forgot about the "" around the data. It's been awhile since I did any PICAXE programming and I'm just doing some initial tests for a vintage Altair 8800 computer project. .

Hi, I am working on a project that I need to send data like this out to a SpeakJet chip: \0RX\011J 0NX\012J 0NX\013J 0NX\014J 0NX\015J 0NX\00J 88NX\01J 0NX\02J 0NX\03J 0NX\04J 0NX\05J 0NX\06J 0NX\07J 96NX\08J 0NX Just plugging that line into a Serout command doesn't seem to work ... the...

Hi, I forgot to add the DIRSB=%11111111 in the init section of the program ... silly me. Now it's working and I think the only thing left is to add an output PIN for a strobe to the Processor Technology 3P+S board.

Hi, Yup, adding the LET DIRSB = %11111111 got it working ... now I have a Parallel ASCII Keyboard to connect to vintage computers.

Hi, HIPPY's code works perfect, I'm just adding the LET PINSB = b0 into the program so that the chip should turn LEDs ON/OFF as the ASCII code for a visual reference. Looking at your info, it looks like I forgot to setup the DIRSB Is this what I need to do in the initializing section of...

Why can't I get "LET PINSB = b0" to display LEDs on B.0 to B.7? Testing ON/OFF works, but nothing from the PINSB command ??? Do SerIn RX, BAUD, b0 LET PINSB = b0 b2 = b0 / $10 : b2 = b2 / 10 * 7 + b2 + "0" b1 = b0 & $0F : b1 = b1 / 10 * 7 + b1 + "0" If b0 >= $20 And b0 <=...

Hi, Finally got back to this project. Connected the Tx PIN OUT to the 20M2 PIN 12 = B.6 Then hserin w1 and a CASE statement for the capital letters, numbers and special characters. Next time I get into the project I'll have a gosub to send parallel data out the B.0 to B.5 and B.7 for 7-bit...

Hi, The FDC+ Serial Drive Server app on my PC connects to my Altair 8800 just fine. What I want to do is connect my Altair-Duino Pro computer to the FDC+ Serial Drive Server app on my PC so my Altair-Duino Pro can a copy of the FDC+ Serial Drive Server app on my PC too. IF I can get my...

Hi, I bought the usb-host-board-v24 ... https://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/usb-host-board-v24 and I'm trying to figure out how to see the data from the device in the debug screen using the KBIN command. I can see the key bytes on my oscilloscope, but not on the debug for the 20M2 chip. What...

Hi, Actually, on these old vintage 1975 computers, CP/M can only manage 2 HDDs and 2 FDDs. A:, B:, C: and D: I think it's a moot attempt now ... I forgot that the FDC+ Serial Drive Server talks to the Altair 8800 at 403.2K BAUD ... I guess that must be a disk drive data speed.

Hi, You are correct. But it's that reading and writing protocol that I want to capture so I can try it from my Altair-Duino Pro computer. I want my Altair-Duino Pro computer to use the FDC+ (on another COM port) just like the Altair 8800 does. That would make life so much nicer with the...

Hi, I've been screwing around with RealTerm ... it's very comprehensive, but it will not let me tap into the COM port that my app is using. I just want to capture the data going back 'n forth with my Altair 8800, but that doesn't seem to be allowed.

I installed the RealTerm software, I'm going to try that first to see if I can "tap into" the COM port as my Altair 8800 talks to the PC software. I just have to get it figured out for the console port first to know how to get it setup for the odd BAUD speed of the other serial port on the...

Hi, I am in a couple of vintage computing groups, the value of 1975 to about 1980 computers has crashed over the last year because pretty much all the big-buck collectors have everything and several of the museums have closed and flooded the marked with machines and parts. There still are...

Hi, I want to figure out how the hardware on my Altair 8800 computer communicates with a Serial Drive Server app running on my Windows 10 PC. Essentially, I need to see how to select one of four .DSK files and read/write to a .DSK file on my PC from CP/M running on my Altair 8800 computer...

Hi, I'm using my RoboGuts™ circuit board for the experiments, then IF it works well, I may design a specific board for the project.
