index

The index of a stored phrase to be spoken.  This index may range from 1 to 30.

phrase

A phrase to be spoken.  The phrase must be in quotes.

This console command has two forms.  It can be used to make an SP03 Speech Module say a stored phrase or say text entered in quotes.

When the Console runs in default BrainStem mode, command data will be routed across the IIC bus to the SP03 module.  If the SP03 module is not present or the BrainStem is not configured with a 100KHz IIC baud rate, the Console will display "no iic ack" messages.

When the Console runs in SP03 mode, command data will be transferred across the RS-232 serial connection to the SP03 module.  SP03 mode is selected by adding two lines of text to the console.config file:

mode=SP03
baudrate=38400

These two lines may be commented out by preceding each with a #.  This will return the Console to BrainStem mode.  Changes to the console.config file are applied when the Console program is restarted.

Example:

say 3

This would make the module say stored phrase 3.

say "hello there"

This would make the module say "hello there".
