                                  7.6 Interface circuit to modified R/C car



                                Essentially you tape the microphone of the speech-recognition kit
                                to the speaker of the walkie-talkie. The microphone and speaker
                                assembly may be enclosed in a box by itself to reduce background
                                noise.

                        Training and controlling the mobile robot

                                The SRC on the mobile robotic platform should be trained using
                                the walkie-talkie, if that’s the way it will be operated and used. The
                                digital display on the board is active when the interface board is
                                connected, so it can be used to check word recognition accuracy.
                                Find out the range of the walkie-talkie system. Don’t let the mobile
                                robot travel outside of this range or you will end up running after
                                it yelling “stop, stop, stop” into the walkie-talkie. Controlling the
                                robot is as simple as talking to it, and it’s pretty impressive to boot.
