I'm trying to find a chip to make a robot emit music/sound using the Make Board...what chip should I use?

Question

I'm trying to make robotic agents using the Make Board....the idea is for them to emit sound/music for the programmers to hear....I was looking at a chip made by Oki (oki.com, pcm sound generator LSI)...the model number is ML2870A....here is the website:www.okisemi.com/english/pis/pi-ml2870.pdf....at the very least the robots each have to be able to emit different tones at different volumes - I would like them to each be able to make semi-complex sound patterns (known to humans as music), but I understand that this might not be possible.

So is this chip I am looking at compatible with the board? How might I use it? Are there other suggestions? I've made the project description brief as I cant give out too much info....but I would be more than happy to talk to people individually....Maybe there are other platforms than the Make Board that would be better for this?

Answer 1

I would think the Make forum would be a better place to ask this.
