The way the fish said Good made me laugh like a dumb ass!

Nice work, but... I have this fish too, but don't wanna waste my time doing such software, too much worries. :P

[JisakuJ]

Well, this is the King of Videos.

You basically have 3 choices.

1. use the existing hardware

2. replace with your own hardware

3. do a hybrid

There are tradeoffs with each approach. For the bass, I did 3, i.e. I used the existing motors, but I supplied my own parallel port relay board. You really don't need to be savvy to follow this approach. Wires from the motors go to each relay and a common ground. The relay board needs a software library for control, so this is really a software task (esp with the speech engine).

Alright, I'm dying here - how can you connect the fish to the computer, without being an electrical or computer engineer?

This is horrifying. The race of sentient Billy Basses will rule the world. It will be a dark future, where the Billy Basses will put batteries in our asses and make us sing lame Talking Heads covers.
