Voice Controlled Door Opener (Makeblock + EasyVR)

#1

I built this door opener using Makeblock, Easy VR (Voice Recognition) and a few feet of elastic.

At first it was controlled by the IR Remote, then I modified it to respond to my voice : )

The pictures and video link below should give you a pretty good idea how to make it:

If you already have Makeblock then you just need the EasyVR Shield to make this (or any Voice Recognition Project) work. My code and an affiliated EasyVR link are below. I would recommend using my code as a template, as the EasyVR code kept getting cut off by the “baseshield::begin” code, so I had to hack it to pieces and remove the part that was interfering with EasyVR.

Hope you like it,

*This code is for the Makeblock kit + EasyVR Shield. If you can program at an intermediate level in any language you should be able to modify it as needed. You will need the makeblock and easyvr libraries to make this all work.
