Long time lurker, first time poster......I started a foam Mark VI build at the end of July with the hopes of having it ready for Halloween. Sadly, I only have the top half completed so I'm going to end up using it as a prop for when trick-or-treaters come (will be dressed as Tony stark). It's my first foam build so it is taking me a while and I'm trying to make it as clean as possible. I'm also automating the faceplate and adding repulsors with different light settings and sounds.
I hope to have picture of my progress up shortly but one thing I wanted to share with the community is a very simple but effective DIY Jarvis that anyone with an android device (2.2 or higher) can integrate with their suit.
1) Make sure you have an android device running 2.2 or higher. 4.x is preferred for some of the tts enhancements that I don't think are in earlier versions.
2) Download "Zandra - Make your Jarvis" from the app store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=today.is.future.zandra)
This app will let you create phrases for voice input automation of various aspects of the device (e.g. commands to turn on/off wifi, open apps, etc.).
The beauty of this app is that you can create commands and have the app respond in either one of two ways:
1) Load up your device with various sound clips from the movie and set the app to play them after speaking certain phrases.
2) In settings, you can use the "UK Voice" and turn on "Zandra Speak" in order to get him to say anything you want using the native Google TTS engine (make sure this is installed). While it is not an exact Jarvis voice, it sounds very similar and allows you to script out enough dialogues to impress your friends (e.g. say "Jarvis, give everyone my holiday wishes". response: "Mister Stark would like to wish you all a very happy and safe Halloween.").
There are a number of other creative uses but if you already own and android device (or can pick one up for cheap) this is a great way to get a Jarvis system easily integrated into your build.
