Wheeler Chair Robot
I saw that last year somebody had built a wheel chair robot?. My idea for the new Robot will be as a stage mascot that can also pretend to play the drums on stage. My brother has a live Metal band every Saturday night and most of the time we have trouble with no drummer showing up. We end up using a Drum machine instead with the 2 other guys on real guitars and singing. So Terminator will be able to move around and substitute behind the drum kit with the Live drum machine signal activating terminator arms at the drums. Also need him to move around in a wheel chair , so is anyone out there that has done this wheel chair hack, looking for suggestions on power/motor controller connections etc...should not be too hard just larger than I'm used to building. This is a youtuber that bought what I just bought,takes a month to get from China and we are building the rest of the Endoskeleton to integrate in wheel chair....

Ha ya I thought about adding 4 more Tarantula legs in the middle ,would look creepy with the Terminator body but since this is a classic Cylon now,I don't recall them ever riding around on a spider carrier, May consider doing something like that later with Terminator!
Wow the last 3 days I have really improved all my A.I. devices that will be working with the new robot. I am ditching my old Android phone because the mystery bluetooth error came back,just can't figure out what is causing the time out errors. I am now using an Android emulator program with my Latte Panda windows 10. I should be able to run mobile ARC and the regular ARC windows or ARC on the same little computer.I have checked out all the other TTS robot voices out there and I still find the Google voice to be the most clear and the best robot effect to use for the EZB voice. I should be able to use both Wi-Fi and bluetooth to get the TTS voice conversations on to my hacked Google mini Bluetooth nest speaker.The Android emulator is just excellent as it runs the newest updated Android operating system and just lets me download any app I want from the Google play store,no APK sideloading needed! My Old android phone will now be entering Ye Olde garbage can!
So I really do like the Cereproc TTS windows voice I bought. I wrote up a long worded script in ARC for the EZB to output this speech to the Cylon Robot's Google Bluetooth speaker as a first test. Used a screen capture program
to capture the sound for this video.that really sound's awesome.very nice picture too.
Hey thanks Nomad, It is not an exact match of how they sounded back in 79 but close enough and still not too distorted to understand.I just wanted a quick TTS voice sollution that will work with ARC and my latte panda to output the voice by either Bluetooth or headphone jack.Then start programming A.I. as the Google mini speaker has amazing microphones that can listen to me all the way from across the back yard at the cottage.
Here I am playing with the many EQ dials on the free Cylonix vocoder as it has a more accurate voice. Unfortunately the screen recorder app is recording both the primary Google TTS news reader and then the output robot voice at the same time,so it sounds like double rainbows in the video! The speaker on the robot is only playing the output robot voice which does sound amazing,very authentic classic sound.
so after tweeking the EQ sliders some more on the Cylonix vocoder, I think I have the best sound effect for the TTS robot voice, I can still make it more clear to understand but then it starts to sound more human, I may turn down the echo slew a bit more but this is really close to the original voices.
I have a fairly sophisticated computer and robot security/convenience setup going on here for the winter months My PC with bluetooth is fully automated with cameras guarding my car outside( I get weird people opening the car doors in the night,possibly homeless looking for shelter??). My google/Terminator voice used with Google nest home speaker is connected with power switches to turn things off and on,like robot power charging cycles from battery charger.All the voices come out of the Robot/Cylon now.Everything web related on my PC is relayed to voice notifications coming from robot and mini speaker. The one thing that does not work which bugs me is any email notifications from Synthiam go to my junk folder instead of INbox so I never get the robot voice telling me of new notification from Synthiam! Every other type of email I get vocal warnings though.I tried setting it to "not junk" but it never works,they still keep going to junk folder,on different hotmail accounts I tried ,no success?`
