Amazon Echo review

Published on Jun 25, 2015

So excited to open our new Amazon Echo and let Alexa take over the living room! Well, almost. The new Amazon Echo is a very good listener. She can answer questions like "What is the weather?" "What time is it?" "Who wrote War and Peace?" and even has some surprises in store to questions like "What do you think of Siri?" And with your Amazon Prime account you ask Siri to play music just by mentioning the artist. Of course Alexa is happy to help you with your shopping- on Amazon. Tell Alexa you would like to reorder those cookies you ordered last week and it will gladly put in the order and charge your credit card- all based on you telling it to. A little scary if kids figure this out. But the Amazon Echo does have a lot of potential.

Amazon Echo Controlled Wheelchair

Published on Jul 12, 2015

Amazon Echo is a device that is voice controlled and by default responds when you address "Alexa". One of Echo's features is to turn things on and off. Using a Raspberry Pi running a Hue emulator, Echo 'thinks' it's turning lights on and off but is really in effect controlling a wheelchair. The control scheme is direction(forward, reverse, left, or right) followed by duration in seconds (one, two, three, or four).
