Grove - Speech Recognizer
The Grove speech recognizer is a module designed for application in the smart home, toy, robot or anything you would like to control with voice commands.
Overview
The board includes a Nuvoton ISD9160, a microphone, 1 SPI flash, 1 grove connector, 1 speaker connector and 1 led to show to your voice activity.
Nuvoton ISD9160 is (SoC) Chipcorder that based on Cortex™-M0, it provides performance and the energy efficiency needed for voice control applications. The microphone on grove-speech recognizer is Omni-directional.
This speech recognizer can recognize 22 commands including ‘start’, ‘stop’ and ‘Play music’. Every time it recognizes a command, it will return a value and the connected loudspeaker will repeat the command. This value can be used to control other devices like a motor or music player.
Note: The wake up word is “Hicell” (Pronounce it as one word). When it recognizes the awaken word the LED turns red and you can say the command word. If it recognize the command word, the LED will turn blue.
Note: The firmware of the module was wrote by the third party vendor, it’s not open source.

Easy data logging with grove sensors using the MKR Connector Carrier and MKR boards
Say hello to the newest member of the Arduino family! The MKRZero--now available on our stores at the price of $21.90/€20.90 (+ tax)--shrinks the functionality of the Arduino Zero down into an Arduino MKR1000 form factor, making it a great educational tool for learning about 32-bit application development. Like the Zero, the latest board is based on a Microchip SAM D21 ARM Cortex®-M0+ MCU. An integrated SD connector with dedicated SPI interfaces (SPI1) allows you to play with files without any extra hardware, while an analog converter enables you to monitor its battery voltage. The MKRZero’s features in a nutshell: small form factor number crunching capability low power consumption integrated battery management USB host integrated SD management programmable SPI, I2C and UART Interested? You can explore the MKRZero in more detail, including its technical documentation, via the links below: Product Page Getting Started Guide Tutorials on Project Hub Make a ScheduledDataLogging Create a I2S synth generator (theremin) Read battery voltage Make it rain On the software side: If you use the Arduino IDE, you will need to add the new Intel SAMD Core, selecting Tools menu, then Boards, and last Boards Manager on the Arduino Software (IDE). If you use Arduino Web Editor, everything is already updated! Watch out music makers, we’ve got some news for you! We have released two libraries for your enjoyment: Arduino Sound library - a simple way to play and analyze audio data using Arduino on SAM D21-based boards. I2S library - to use the I2S protocol on SAMD21-based boards. For those who don’t know, I2S (Inter-IC Sound) is an electrical serial bus interface standard for connecting digital audio devices.
