I was asked by friends from the engineering faculty to help write code for a voice recognition chip, everything went well and I'm getting more familiar with it. The chip itself was only $50 but the board needed to load program onto it was like $500. He told me he has a spare chip available, and I can play with the spare one if I want...
So I'm thinking somehow program a chip to recognize my voice so that I can do a keyless voice entry. The chip that I programmed for him now is for a wireless voice-controlled lawn mower. So to program this chip to do keyless voice entry isn't that hard at all.
I have few options and problems for now though:
1) Should I mount the chip on the vehicle? so that I have to go near the vehicle and say something to unlock the doors? If so where should I mount the microphone? It has to be somewhere that voice can get to and would be weatherproof.
2) My friend suggested that I can mount the chip on a remote or something, but then what's the point of having voice entry since I can just hit a button to unlock. Plus the wireless chip ain't cheap...I don't know too much about hardware so this would be more of a challenge to me. Battery would drain like crazy as well. One alternative is so modify the alarm's remote to get rid of the buttons and make it voice-driven.
I'm thinking of doing this when I have time, might go with the first option so even if I lock myself out with the key in the vehicle I can still get in. The question is where the mount the mic and what wire to tap in with the chip. I'm assuming it's just going to be the wires of the lock button on the door.
Of course, I will use some special words or sentence for lock and unlock just in case. And allow it to be changed when inside of the vehicle.
Let me know if you think if this is even worth of trying...I need ideas man.
