I continue to get a Sound servo error. I have been unable to solve this problem on a project I have been working on, so I started a whole new project to try to trouble shoot it further.
In this new project I only have 3 servo's connected; 1 for Pan; 1 for Tilt; and one for the sound servo.
When I run scripts involving these 3 Servos I get no error messages. When I add a camera to the project I get the error message below;

I has tried the EZ-Robot camera and a Microsoft camera and I get the error message with both.
In another project I am running the Ez-Robot camera and no Sound servo and I do not get the error message.
So that's telling me that this error is somehow related to the use of a camera in a project with a sound sound servo . Doesn't make any sense to me.
Any thoughts - starting to drive me nuts!
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I appologiZe on behalf of Microsoft for their generic error message
I am hoping someday Ez-Robot will have Text to Speech capability so then the Sound servo won't be needed.
Thanks again for your help
@ d. cochran - I would be very interested what you dig up.
I'll mark this as resolved - Thanks you everyone for your help.
Code:
you would just need your process to write the text to speek to C:\somedirectory\somefile.txt
Sorry, im at work and dont have much time, but I do this after I parse RSS feeds to clean up a lot of the garbage characters that in RSS feeds.
you can also use the sayEZB command instead of the say command above.
I guess to me its not that important of a feature but I understand that it is to some. I am building an InMoov also, but dont see the jaw moving as a concern. I would personally rather that this robot could do sign language than move its jaw. I see a real application for something there. Having a robot that could understand what someone says and then sign it would be really cool, but I went way off topic.
Thanks again
