Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Robot voice box


hmm...how about side impact sensors which trigger it? He can call for help when attacked by a turbot! or, you could then make a friendly turbot that reverses when it senses the sound from the other guy it rams into? just thoughts...

>>>
I went to radio shack and bough myself a little 3VDC buzzer, nice little
sound, got a circuit that i think i will use, but...What kind of event should
occur to make the buzzer go off? I was thinkin usein the reverer stuff but
then i thought it should do something more that just that. o well, any
comments welcome.

I got mine today too, after 8 days.
Yeap, they are nice. They will run directly from the outputs of a bicore
on an AC240, don't know about the HC. They do say Swiss made on the
outside though, so they might be portescaps.
