Default RE: Voice activating switches

Hi Rene,

Sorry to hear of your situation, it would be great if you could get this off the ground. From the computer side, the whole speech recognition part would be easy. You could use a notebook or even a Pocket Pc device (like a PDA), which has bluetooth or WIFI, but you would have to check out the interference.

I am sure you could get some electronics whiz to get the Pocket PC or notebook to "talk" to your JR 10X via bluetooth or WIFI, thus you would say "Throttle" and the Tx would move up a notch on the Throttle.

What I would suggest is to take the idea to a university, some are into projects just like this. Someone might like to take the idea on as a final project. Mike James is correct too about the noise canceling mic or switch, although switches are what you want to get away from. The other place to look would be those people who are into battlebots etc. They are great at electronics and radios, computers etc.

An interesting concept, which I am sure would not take too much to put together. Hope you get your idea off the ground so to speak.

Tim
