Magnevation SpeakJet Speech and Sound Sythesizer Module

This directory contains a complete test program for demonstrating the
use of the Magnevation SpeakJet speach chip with the BDMICRO MAVRIC
and MAVRIC-II microcontroller boards.  Feel free to copy the relevent
function definitions into your own applications and to customize them
for your needs.

The code is written in C using the GNU GCC C Compiler.  A Makefile is
provided which is known to work correctly on the FreeBSD Unix
operating system.

Configuration:
 
  Hook up the SpeakJet according to its data sheet.  Attach the
  SpeakJet output to an amplifier.  Attach your MAVRIC or MAVRIC-II
  PORTD3 to SpeakJet pin 11 (Serial TTL Data).  It is important to use
  PORTD3 and not the MAVRIC/MAVRIC-II UART1 TX pin because the UART1
  TX pin is a level shifted RS232 voltage, while the SpeakJet utilizes
  just the TTL level.  PORTD3 on the MAVRIC/MAVRIC-II is the TTL level
  RS232 output pin which is the one to use with the SpeakJet.

  When the MAVRIC/MAVRIC-II comes out of reset, it will speak the
  phrase: "Welcome to the BDMICRO MAVRIC SpeakJet Test Program".
