Maker: Sparkfun

The VoiceBox Shield uses SpeakJet voice and sound synthesizer chip to convert serial commands into a robot-sounding voice.

Includes a two stage audio amplifier with a volume control.

You can control the SpeakJet through either its serial line, or the eight event input lines which are connected to digital pins 5-12. A 3-way jumper allows you to connect either the software (D2) or hardware (D1) TX pin of the Arduino to the SpeakJet's serial input.

Note:
Serial TX can alternatively be routed to either D1 or D2 by jumper. Only one is required.

D3 is RST (reset the SpeakJet)
D4 is SPK (SpeakJet is generating voice/sound)
D13 is RDY (SpeakJet is ready)
