Has Xojo been able to implement the Speak(“hello world”) method for the Raspberry Pi 2 yet? Have an idea for the Science Centre and want to know if it is feasible before starting down that path.
Yes, I have my Pi speaking… You have to instal “espeak” on the Pi…
But I also found that to take full advantage of the espeak options you have to run it from a shell rather than just using Xojo’s “speak”.
Does the HDMI cable transfer the sound, and play it through the tv, or does something need to be configured in the Pi settings, in order to play the sound?
Thanks.
I am on vacation and do not have a Pi with me… so some of this is from memory and might not be entirely accurate…
I believe that HDMI output is the default and since I wanted to use the audio jack I had to use the “amixer” command to change it…
I also had to edit /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
and change the line pcm.front cards.pcm.front to pcm.front cards.cm.default
Hope this helps
