Add Music
Step 1: Setup
In order to have our Micro:bit speak we need to have a speaker to amplify the voice. The easiest way to do this is to use two alligator clips and a pair of headphones or speakers.
Watch the video below starting at the 8:19 mark to see how to connect everything.
Step 2: Open up Python Programming
Head to http://python.microbit.org/v/1 as this is the online coding platform we will need to code.
Step 3: Write Code
Watch this tutorial to learn how to code the Micro:bit to speak and how to adjust the tone of voice.
Remember(this is taken from here):
pitch- how high or low the voice sounds (0 = high, 255 = Barry White)speed- how quickly the device talks (0 = impossible, 255 = bedtime story)mouth- how tight-lipped or overtly enunciating the voice sounds (0 = ventriloquist’s dummy, 255 = Foghorn Leghorn)throat- how relaxed or tense is the tone of voice (0 = falling apart, 255 = totally chilled)
Challenge
Design a robot body using available materials and the Micro:bit to create a talking robot!
