Hey all,

I have written this script with help from Grog and Alessandruino,

Can some one please help me figuring whats wrong.

This Script if for Chess game play, It send and receives the chess moves via serial and gives voice feedback of the game play.

What I cant get to work is getting data into function voice when the computer play its move.

I have highighted the part where i think i might be wrong.

Thanks for the Help :)

Can you send a noworky after you got it running? It would help a ton in debugging since we can see much more stuffs in that way

Thanks :)

No Worky sent,

Just wanted to let you knw that I am using an older v1695.20130912.0508 because I am getting error with serial comms with arduino in the newer versions.

and regarding the script: it works HALF! (dnt knw how to explain it to you)

But in short:

The script has 2 functions: input() and voice(),

If I rename the function "voice()" as function "input()" then tht block works properly, and the other doesnt work.

So which ever functuion is named as "input" will work but other function wont work.

I knw that this must be beacuse I must be making some syntax error but frm seeing all the tutorials on the site (servo and joystick) they all seem to be using the same syntax for using python service as a listener.

 

Please advice the changes.
