Challenge

There are other very useful functions that we can use with the MOVI instance. Here are a few additional functions that you can try to add to the project:

• isReady(): Will return a Boolean value of true if the MOVI is ready or false if it is not ready.
• setVolume(int volume): Will set the volume of the MOVI's output from 0 (muted) to 100 (full volume).
• setVoiceGender(bool female): Will set the gender for the MOVI's voice. A true value will set it to a female voice, and a false value will set it to a male voice.
• setThreshold(int threshold): Sets the noise threshold for the speech recognizer. Values can range from 2 to 95. A value of 15 is good for a noisy environment while a value of 30 is good for a very noisy environment.
• welcomeMessage(bool on): Will set the MOVI welcome message on or off.
• beeps(bool on): Turns the recognition beep on or off.
• ask() and ask(string question): Directly listens without waiting for a call sign. If a string is passed in, then the MOVI will ask the question first before listening.

The challenge is to try to add some of these functions in the sample project and see what else you can do with the MOVI shield. Also, try adding additional sentences for MOVI to listen for.
