Re: Serial communication help
There's a second serial port on the RC, labeled TTL. That second programming port works just like the 1st. If the sound chip needs RS232 levels, you can use the little converter board that came with the cmucams.

Ideally, I could send it the words to say via the program port and a terminal app on my laptop
What prevents you from connecting the laptop directly to the sound chip?
