My humanoid robot needs a speaker loud enough for speech.
Weight is highly important.
The best I have found so far are large fist sized speakers, but something tells me I could find something just as loud but smaller. Our smartphones have fairly small yet loud speakers.
I ordered some tiny speakers but I could not hear a thing unless I put them up to my ears.
Where could I find something like this to help reduce the weight of my robot's speaker?
Something that doesn't need a complicated external amplifier connection.
There are lots of good options for small speakers now a days.
Here's a thread about a search for small speakers. The person who started the thread wasn't using an Arduino, but I think the information presented would be applicable to the Arduino. IMO, there's a lot of interesting information in the thread.
I don't think you'd use the same amp to drive the Veho 360. The Veho 360 has an amp built in. It normally plugs into a headphone jack. I don't know what sort of circuit you need to drive the Veho 360 with an Arduino.
The speaker would be connected to a computer inside the robot via USB. I would use the Arduino but since I'm using a computer to handle the fast processing speeds I might as well just use it's USB ports.
Either way, a great recommendation. The size looks nice and compact. What I was using before was about 4x as big so this is defiantly a step up.
