Twitr_janus talks through temporary animatronic jaw

Finally, I have got the full loop through from sending a tweet to automatically make. Remote puppet talk and move its mouth in time as it speaks.

Twitter to speech converter kit list

• Twitter app (here on iPad) to Internet
• Internet to PC running Processing sketch periodically scans for twets and strips message
• Processing converts to spoken output using tts.h text-to-speech library
• Speech played through audio amplifier
• Amplifier secondary speaker output connected to Arduino analog input
• Voltage detection in Arduino triggers output pulses on peaks
• Peaks switch power on and off, from model railway transformer connected to car door actuator motor
• Actuator moves jaw in time to speech peaks

Watch the complete loop from tweet to talking cardboard...
