Hi guys,
couldn't find anything related to that on the web.
It seems that if I plug the easyVR shield on top of my WiFi shield, the latter isn't visible.
Assuming they're using the same pins for communication?
Any solution to get both running?
I'm using it to control my raspberry pi - based home automation and was planning to call the web services via wifi, without that I would have to pull a usb cable from rPi to arduino which is not great.
Is the shield that is shown in the pdf file the one that you are using? If so, what position is the jumper in?
The shield uses pins 12 and 13 when the jumper is in the SW position. Those are two of the SPI pins that the WiFi shield uses to communicate with the Arduino, so that position can not be used.
The alternatives use the hardware serial port to communicate with the EasyVR chip, which is not exactly an improvement.
I had a similar issue with the EasyVR Shield and Arduino Leonardo. And changed the pins to 8/9 but the shield isn't on top of the Leonardo, but sideways, and jumperwired the 8/9 of the Arduino to the 12/13 (change the code too). And remember to jumpwire the 5V, GND and Reset between the board and shield also. It will make impossible to use EasyVR Commander or update the soundtable, this last via PC mode.
That's the one PaulS, the jumper is in the SW position, I've connected the 12,13 pins on the EasyVR to 2,3 on Arduino so in theory that should work, right?
I'm really happy to bend the sh*t out of these pins if it helps ;]
