The specifications show that the module only requires 5 Volts DC for powerwhich will be supplied by the batteries, can pre-load 30 different phrases,doesn’t pull much current when in standby or talking phases, and can speakphrases of up to 81 characters when they’re input word by word.Table 2.2.2.7.2 Pin descriptions for pins that run parallel to the Winbond logo+5V - 5V Power Supply - up to 100mASDA -IC2 bus SDA connectionSCL -I2C bus SCL connectionNo Connect - Do not connect this pinGND -The 0 volt Ground lineSpare - Undefined pin - do not connectGND -The 0 volt Ground lineRS232 Rx - Connect to Tx on the PCRS232 Tx - Connect to Rx on the PCThese pins will be used in coordination with our microprocessor to supply therelevant information from our LCD for the overall voice output. When using theserial communications only three different pins will be used.2.2.2.8 Circuit ElementsThe physical link between the infusion pump and the interface will ideally bedone via a serial bus. Signals must be received from and sent to the infusionpump in a way that they are discernable by both devices. Figure 2.2.2.8.1 is abasic circuit element schematic. A more complex schematic cannot begenerated until the exact output signals from the various sensors in the infusionpump are known. This is not yet possible due to the lack of a deconstructableinfusion pump. Essentially input signals will be generated by input buttons andwill be relative to what is on the display. This data will be processed by amicroprocessor into signals which the infusion pump can comprehend. Thesignals will then be transmitted via a serial bus to the infusion pump itself wherethey will result in action being taken, such as a flow rate being set or infusionbeginning. The system must also work in reverse. Warnings and statusinformation from the infusion pump must be transmitted along the serial bus anddisplayed visually and audibly.45
