Today, I am going to show how to make your Micro:bit talk using a very easy programming language – MicroPython. Yes, it is very easy to make your BBC Micro:bit device talk using Speech Synthesis. And you know, the interesting part is just four lines of code and your device will start talking/saying whatever you want.
If you don’t know what BBC Micro:bit is and how to get started with it, please see THIS post or THIS post where I have covered all the basics on how to get started with Micro:bit. So, let’s get started and see how to make Micro:bit talk.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
