Remember Big Mouth Billy Bass?
I've made a simple demo program for him using the Freescale FRDM-KL25Z board. I've hooked up the digital I/O to his motor driver transistors and pushbutton switch.
This program records 1.8 seconds of speech audio from ADC input when the pushbutton is pressed, then plays the audio back with Billy Bass's mouth controlled so that it opens during vowel sounds.
The ADC input is driven from a microphone and preamplifier, via a capacitor and into a resistor divider connected to the +3.3V supply pin to provide mid-range biasing for the ADC signals.
The DAC output is connected to his audio amplifier input, via another capacitor.
For more on the method of vowel recognition, please see the paper:
