Some of you may have seen a video from January 2017 (back when I was living in MA!) where I was starting a new project called the Talking Thermometer:

I did not do much of anything for this project since except for my recent EPROM player/address finder:

This was inspired from the Talking Thermometer (TT) project, as I would need to find starting and stopping addresses for speech samples. I was going to make the TT and EPROM player one project originally, with the MCU (Microcontroller) addressing the EPROM for playing it as well as for the TT function, but then decided to make the EPROM player as a separate hardware-only device (digital counters to cycle through address. And yes, it has an internal EPROM implementing some logic as well), with a DB25 port on the side to hook up future modular projects to use the EPROM player to talk. So the thermometer would be a separate module.
So finally I got the inspiration and motivation one day (just a couple days ago or so) and got down to the TT project, doing a lot of C programming for the PIC18F4580 MCU chip, and interfacing it the the EPROM player. I got it working, and it is fun! Now I just gotta build it into a permanent case, as a plug-in module.
