Sensory Aid Design
The basic scheme was this - special logic allowed the controller to grab information off of the personal computers bus (I used a bus extender cable taken off a chasiss extension product, and wired it to logic that attached to a DRV-11W parallel interface card). By snooping the bus, a passive interface to the display and keyboard logic was obtained without involvement with the software of the personal computer. The controller ran a coroutine based kernel built out as needed to real time parse, text to speech, and work a synthesizer through a serial interface. |
