Build your own voice commands for IoT projects

It's nice if you can turn on/off lamps via voice commands. Yes, in this section, we will build a simple project to build voice commands on Arduino. We use EasyVR 3 shield for Arduino.

Our scenario is to build voice commands on Arduino to turn on/off a LED. You can change LED with a relay module and lamp. For development environment, I use Windows OS to implement this demo. Some EasyVR tools run only on Windows platform. For testing, I use Arduino Uno R3 board.

Let's start!

Setting up EasyVR shield 3

Before you using EasyVR shield 3 into your program, you should prepare to install several software and libraries.

Firstly, download EasyVR library for Arduino. You can download it on https://github.com/RoboTech-srl/EasyVR-Arduino/releases. Extract the file and put it on your Arduino library folder. You also can do it by clicking menu Sketch | Include Library | Add .ZIP Library. Select EasyVR library ZIP file.

The next step is to install EasyVR Commander...
