STEP 3: Importing BitVoicer Server Solution Objects
Now you have to set up BitVoicer Server to work with the Arduino. BitVoicer Server has four major solution objects: Locations, Devices, BinaryData and Voice Schemas.
Locations represent the physical location where a device is installed. In my case, I created a location called Home.
Devices are the BitVoicer Server clients. I created a Mixed device, named it ArduinoMicro and entered the communication settings. NOTE ABOUT ARDUINO MICRO: it uses RTS and DTR so you have to enable these settings in the communication tab. I also created a SystemSpeaker device to synthesize speech using the server audio adapter.
BinaryData is a type of command BitVoicer Server can send to client devices. They are actually byte arrays you can link to commands. When BitVoicer Server recognizes speech related to that command, it sends the byte array to the target device. I created one BinaryData object to each pin value and named them ArduinoMicroGreenLedOn, ArduinoMicroGreenLedOff and so on. I ended up with 18 BinaryData objects in my solution, so I suggest you download and import the objects from the VoiceSchema.sof file below.
Voice Schemas are where everything comes together. They define what sentences should be recognized and what commands to run. For each sentence, you can define as many commands as you need and the order they will be executed. You can also define delays between commands. That is how I managed to perform the sequence of actions you see in the video.
You can import (Importing Solution Objects) all solution objects I used in this post from the files below. One contains the Devices and the other contains the Voice Schema and its Commands.
